Abstract:A self-consistent simulation, including a model for improved core energy confinement, demonstrates that externally applied, inductive current perturbations can be used to control both the location and strength of internal transport barriers (ITBs) in a fully non-inductive tokamak discharge. We find that ITB structures formed with broad non-inductive current sources such as LHCD are more readily controlled than those formed by localized sources such as ECCD. Through this external control of the magnetic shear p… Show more
