Parameter input to the Initial IMP5 State actor

When running IMP5HCD in either IMP5HCD_sa or in the ETS, the machine paramters can be assigned using the actor Initial IMP5 State. To control this assignment, double click to configure the actor and fill in the pop-up panel. For more details follow the links to the NBI settings, the EC settings, the IC settings and the wall settings.

The NBI settings panel

The NBI settings panel is the list of variables following the line
===== NBI SETTINGS =====
Here is a description of the variables in this panel.

  • NBI_use_panel_settings: If TRUE: use the NBI settings panel to configure the NBI system. If FALSE: ignore the NBI settings panel and use the input CPO.
  • NBI_machine_descriptions: Select from where the NBI hardward description should be taken
    1. from_input_CPO: use the NBI hardware in the CPO provided by the UAL;
    2. from_HCD_database: uses the a HCD-database entry for the tokamak being simulated;
    3. from_codeparameters: specify the NBI settings in the codeparamters of the actor nbifiller.
    For all three options, dynamic quantities like power, injection energy etc. are always set according to the NBI panel settings.
  • NBI_configuration: When using NBI data from NBI_machine_descriptions=from_HCD_database, then this parameter allow you to select different configurations: either you use the default or a selected configuration. In the latter case the name of the configuration is specified in NBI_configuration_name.
  • NBI_configuration_name: When NBI_machine_descriptions=from_HCD_database and NBI_configuration=selected, then this parameter allow you to specify the name of your NBI configuration. The name is provided as a string and has to be one of the configurations in the list of NBI configurations. Note that the configuration is tied to the machine you are simulating, e.g. only ITER configurations can be used when simulating the ITER tokamak.
  • NBI_mass_in: mass of injected species in atomic units. Vector over the beam injection units.
  • NBI_charge_in: nuclear charge of injected species in atomic units. Vector over the beam injection units.
  • NBI_power_in: power (W). Vector over the beam injection units.
  • NBI_injection_energy_in: injection energy (J). Vector over the beam injection units.
  • NBI_beam_power_fraction_2_in: fraction of the beam power injectedat half the nominal energy. Vector over the beam injection units.
  • NBI_beam_power_fraction_3_in: fraction of the beam power injectedat a third of the nominal energy. Vector over the beam injection units.

Machine Configuration name Description
ITER default From the EDRG machine description database. Details: Unit 1 is On-axis and Unit 2 is Off-axis. Two gaussian components are assumed for the divergence : core (5mrad) and halo (15mrad). Unit R,Z,Phi calculated from avg of x,y,z coord. from datafiles of Otto. Tang_rad and angles from avg over beamlets angles. Beam divergences set to 5mrad assuming ideal core only component (halo 15mrad neglected). Past revisions of RUN2 contained 16 nbi units since we literally took the 4x4 layout of the cross section as with individual units. But there is a single power line and as such it is a single unit. Next datastructures should allow us to have type array to store arbitrary lenght r,z,phi,tang_rad,angle to describe any sort of layout in a coarse fashion. (2013)
JET default From the EDRG machine description database. Details: This file is valid for so-called UP1467 configuration (PINIs 1-4-6-7 of both Octants are upshifted with respect to their standard position). Excluding some few restart (duct conditioning) shots at the beginning of experiment campaigns (which should not be analysed anyway), this configuration is valid for the shotrange 52888-61931. The order of entries below is as follows: First Octant 4 PINI-1, PINI-2, ... PINI-8, then Octant 8 PINI-1, PINI-2, ..., PINI-8. For pow_frc_blt (fraction of power of a unit injected by a beamlet) it is assumed for the moment that all beamlets inject the same amount of power. (2013)
AUG default From the EDRG machine description database (2013). Details: This file does not contain details on the beamlets on each unit. We will have to get those later on.

The name is provided as a string and has to be one of the configurations in the list of IC configurations (for details see IMP5 IC-Antennas Database). Note that the configuration is tied to the machine you are simulating, e.g. only ITER configurations can be used when simulating the ITER tokamak.
  • IC_power_in: power (W)
  • IC_frequency_in: frequency (Hz)
  • IC_phase_in: phase of the current in each antenna strap (rad). Vector over all straps. E.g. a dipole phasing for a four strap antenna (JET-A2/ITER) may written as {0,PI,0,PI}, while a current drive phasing would be written as {0,PI/2,PI,3*PI/2} or {0,-PI/2,-PI,-3*PI/2}.
