A numerical model is developed to evaluate the decay time of plasma current during the disruption following intense impurity injections. Our model is based on the power balance equation between joule heating and impurity radiation as a way to evaluate the electron temperature and charge state after the thermal quench. The model is applied to the experimental results of massive N 2 gas injections in JFT-2M, which simulate the "ingress-ofcoolant event" (ICE) as well as disruption mitigations in ITER. It is confirmed that the model can reproduce the experiments reasonably well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
