In the TORTUR Tokamak the electron thermal diffusivity xe has been determined as a function of the radius from the time evolution of a temperature increase across the profile due to a fast toroidal current pulse. The thermal diffusivities correspond with global ze values from the power balance of a steady state plasma.
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.
