TRANSPORT

The settings for TRANSPORT can be done inside the CONVERGENCE LOOP composite actor. Therefore please do:

  • right click on the box CONVERGENCE LOOP
  • select Open actor
  • right click on the box TRANSPORT
  • select Configure actor to edit settings
  • choose your settings

Transport models

TopPreviousNext

ETS constructs the total transport coefficients from the combination of Anomalous transport (model choice), Neoclassical transport (model choice), Database transport (transport coefficients be saved to the input shot) and Background transport (Transport coefficients defined through the GUI interface)


D_tot = D_DB*M_DB + D_AN*M_AN + D_NC*M_NC + D_BG*M_BG


You should choose from the list of evailable models in each cathegory or switch it OFF

Individual multipliers for all channels shall be specified on the lower level through the code parameters of Transport Combiner

The list of available transport models can be found here.



Background transport

TopPreviousNext

You can add the constant background level for each coefficient (ion and impurity coefficients are expected to be the strings of [1:NION] and [1:NIMP] elements respectively, separated by commas)



Edge transport barrier

TopPreviousNext

In this section you can artificially supress the transport outside of specified RHO_TOR_NORM_ETB. Total transport coefficients for all transport channels (ne, ni, nz, Te, Ti,...) will be reduced to constant values specified below (ion and impurity coefficients are expected to be the strings [1:NION] and [1:NIMP] respectively)



Total transport coefficients

TopPreviousNext

The fine tuning of of transport coefficients can be done through editing the XML code parameters of the transport combiner actor:

  • In Outline browse for transportcombiner
  • select Configure actor
  • click Edit Code Parameters
    • If you select OFF contributions from all transport models to this channel will be nullified;
    • If you select Multipliers_for_contributions_from the transport channel will be activated, and the total transport coefficient will be combined from active tranport models. You gust need to specify multiplier against each channel;
    • For convective velocity there is an additional option V_over_D_ratio_for_contributions_from. With this option selected the combiner will ignore the convective components provided by transport models. The convective velocity will be determined from the diffusion coefficient by applying fixed V/D ratio (for inward pinch the values should be negative!).
