Interaction Between Different Physical Processes Within Integrated Predictive Modeling Simulations Glenn Bateman Lehigh University Physics Department 16 Memorial Drive East Bethlehem, PA 18015 Fusion Simulation Project Workshop San Diego, CA 17-18 September 2002

Integrated Predictive Tokamak Modeling Interactions between many different kinds of physical processes are computed for: ELMs Pedestal Models Core Transport Equilibrium Neutral Beams RF Heating Current Drive Pellet Injection Gas Sawtooth Oscillations Magnetic Diffusion Impurity Radiation Nuclear Reactions Integrated Modeling Framework Sources Sinks Transport Equilibrium shape Large-scale instabilities Boundary conditions

Sawtooth Oscillations  Fast Ion Heating Profile Fast ions are spread out across the sawtooth mixing region during each sawtooth crash Consequently, fast ion heating of the thermal plasma is spread out over the sawtooth mixing region Fast ions are driven by Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) Fusion reactions (e.g., deuterium-tritium reactions produce fast alpha ions) Ion Cyclotron Resonance Frequency (ICRF) heating Stand-alone codes for NBI, alpha heating, or ICRF generally do not consider this effect

NBI Heating Profile in BALDUR Simulation of MAST NBI heating profile is spread out over the sawtooth mixing region

Effect of Sawtooth Crashes on Heating by Fast Alpha Particles With each sawtooth crash: Central temperatures drop as plasma is spread over the sawtooth mixing region Fast alpha particles slow down more rapidly There is a faster transfer of power from fast alpha particles to thermal plasma This appears as a transient spike in Palpha after each crash Thermal electrons and ions reheat rapidly As a result, the fusion burn can recover from transient low central temperatures

Boundary Conditions  Confinement Boundary conditions affect confinement in many different kinds of tokamak discharges: H-mode discharges: A sharply defined pedestal forms at the edge of the plasma Confinement is enhanced by the pedestal Especially since core transport models are stiff Sufficiently good confinement is required to form the pedestal during the L to H-mode transition Combinations of pedestal and core models are required for integrated predictive transport simulations “Supershot” discharges Wall conditioning was used to minimize recycling in order to prepare for hot-ion “supershot” discharges in TFTR

Transport  Current Profile There is the following non-linear feedback loop in tokamaks: Current profile  transport  pressure gradient  bootstrap current  current profile Usually, the current profile evolves on a slower time scale than the transport Magnetic diffusion is slower than thermal transport Sawtooth oscillations, current drive, and edge phenomena also affect the current profile Reversed magnetic shear (ie, low central current) can produce Internal Transport Barriers This slide was suggested by Irina Voitsekhovitch

Transport  Lower Hybrid Heating Radio-frequency power absorption depends on plasma parameters which, in turn, depend on sources, sinks, boundary, and transport In a low temperature plasma, there is weak, off-axis multi-pass heating As the temperature increases, there is a transition from weak multi-pass to strong single-pass heating Single pass heating deposition scales like T-1/2 Lower hybrid can also be used to drive current Driving current off-axis can produce reversed magnetic shear, which can produce an Internal Transport Barrier This slide was suggested by Irina Voitsekhovitch

Sawtooth Oscillations  Transport  Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) Heat pulses are produced by sawtooth oscillations and (cold pulses) by ELMs Sawtooth crashes and ELMs are periodic abrupt redistributions of the plasma profiles Heat pulses are observed to propagate much faster than the background heat transport Ion particle and ion momentum pulses also propagate through the plasma Stiff, non-linear transport models are used to model the observed pulse propagation This is one way to discriminate between different models Large sawteeth and ELMs can degrade confinement

Impurity Influx  Enhanced Confinement It is observed on DIII-D and other tokamaks that a sudden impurity influx produces enhanced confinement Strong flow shear is produced by the impurity influx Integrated modeling simulations using the National Transport Code Collaboration Showed that flow shear reduced the transport to neoclassical values Were able to predict the experimentally observed temperature profiles

INCREASE IN ExB SHEARING RATE IS A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR CONFINEMENT IMPROVEMENT Body Text Second Level Third Level Fourth Level Fifth Level Simulations are used to test: Effects of ExB shearing from experimental ExB to 0 Effects of changing Zeff (3.2  1.4) and ne() after the improved state is established  Neon injection may be used as a trigger 11 MURAKAMI: IAEA00

Density Limit in Tokamaks Several effects are believed to play a role in determining the density limit in tokamaks: Gas puffing at high density produces a steep density gradient near the edge of the plasma The steep density gradient enhances transport near the edge of the plasma Impurities radiate most of the power at high density This produces a “radiative collapse” of the plasma As the edge of the plasma cools, the plasma current cannel shrinks As the current channel shrinks, the current gradient drives MHD instabilities that lead to disruption

Integrated Modeling Issues - 1 Which models are correct? There are several different models for Core transport H-mode pedestal Large scale instabilities (such as sawtooth oscillations) Simulations using these different models match experimental data about equally well RMS deviations are in the 10% to 20% range The different models predict different performance when extrapolated to fusion reactor designs For example, the IFS/PPPL model predicted poor performance for ITER-EDA while the Multi-Mode model predicted ignition We need the predictions to converge together

Integrated Modeling Issues - 2 Specialized computer codes have gotten way ahead of integrated modeling codes Specialized codes to compute plasma turbulence and large-scale instabilities are way ahead of the models used within integrated modeling codes Scrape-off-layer codes (such as UEDGE) have not yet been combined with most core modeling codes Some issues are neglected For example, predicting the impurity concentration in tokamak plasmas The performance of fusion reactors is predicted to be sensitive to high levels of impurity concentration

Integrated Modeling Issues - 3 What constitutes an adequate test of integrated predictive modeling simulations? How good does the comparison with experimental data have to be, before we have confidence in the models and simulations? How much difference does there have to be, before we can reject a model? How sophisticated do the models have to be, before they are accepted by theoreticians? When are the models and codes good enough to trust the results of fusion reactor simulations?
