ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 1 C M Roach Euratom/UKAEA Fusion Association, Culham Science Centre, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 3DB, UK 1.Status of PR0X NF Paper 2.Other Issues This work was jointly funded by the EPSRC and EURATOM Discussion on Profile Database Release Discussion on Profile Database Release PR0X
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 2 Fairly complete draft of NF paper is now available online at: (username+password available on request to co-authors.) CMR has requested comments latex files at: just add \Blue{your comment} to Latex files. Specific feedback also requested from this session! Status of NF Paper PR0X
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 3 (1) Final Author list: should all modellers be included? volunteers needed to check author list + give corrections to CMR (2) Sec 2: Table 1 is not presently helpful for the reader, so will improve by instead categorising providing number of discharges in each category ITB, DT, hybrid, high performance H-mode etc. request specific comments to improve Table1 (3) Sec 2: imbalanced detail in machine contributions: eg JET provided much more detail than AUG/TS. request specific comments to improve balance Issues for THIS MEETING to resolve
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 4 (4) Sec 4: Can physics review be strengthened, without rewriting old papers or new physics analyses? request specific comments on Sec 4 (5) A Few Missing NF Contributions:A Few Missing NF Contributions TFTR: descriptions of 2 PR0x discharges D3D: descriptions of 20 PR0x discharges Action: When can these be ready? or go ahead without?... “shame to spoil the ship for a ha’penny worth of tar!” (6) Some discharges remain incompatible with PR0x variables:Some discharges D3D ~19 discharges; TFTR 1 PR0x, 79 PR98 discharges Action: When can these be ready? or go ahead without? Issues for THIS MEETING to resolve
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 5 MachineDischargesRepresentativeNF section AUG: F Ryter D3D: C Greenfield? FTU: B Esposito JET: I Voitsekovich JT60U: Y Sakamoto MAST: A R Field RTP: D Hogeweij T10: A Chudnovskij TFTR: * R Budny? TS: F Imbeaux TXTR: D Hogeweij Red = discharges not yet compatible with PR0X variables as agreed 2005 * NB 81 TFTR PR98 discharges also not yet compatible: be nice to make them consistent too! = promised in Lausanne!! PR0X Discharges + NF contributions by machine
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 6 (7) Appendix A ITER Scenarios: no descriptions from R Budny’s scenarios. A Polevoi’s ITER scenarios not submitted to PR0x. Action: ITER modellers agree PR0x scenarios and Appendix A. MachineDischargesRepresentativeNF section ITER: F Imbeaux R Budny ? ??????? ??????? ??????? ??????? A Polevoi Red = scenarios not yet described in Appendix A of NF Draft. = promised in Lausanne!! PR0X Appendix A on ITER Scenarios
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 7 (8) Acknowledgements: Action: comments/suggestions on acknowledgements? (9) Intend to illustrate web-based plots (from NTCC data server) by adding figures to Section 3 : eg P fus (t) from record JET, TFTR shots, and ITB T,n profiles from other machines Action: suggestions for specific plots? (10) When submit to NF? suggestions for submission timescale (given above constraints)? Issues for THIS MEETING to resolve
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 8 UKAEA will: (1) upgrade operating system on tokamak-profiledb for improved maintainability/security: presently Fedora 2. (2) Fix NTCC data server, with help from J Carlsson. (3) Make PR0x public by end of 2007? Other Issues for PR0x
ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, October 2007, Naka 9 Conclusions Status of PR0X Data: –102/122 PR0X discharges are ready for publication now –a few key discharges (d3d, tftr) still to comply with agreed variables –iter modelling scenarios missing –wait, or go ahead without? NF Paper Status: –almost completed draft available at –comments requested for speedy submission to journal Have we finalised commitments for missing elements in this session?
