Theoretical calculation of electron density and temperature in the edge of tokamak

Abstract

In this work, we use a method based on the concept of particle confinement time [Formula: see text] uniqueness to calculate the electron density and temperature in ohmically heated, edge plasma of the Hefei tokamak-7. Here, with the help of the data taken from Johnson and Hinnov’s table, we have done an extensive work to find electron densities and temperatures that satisfy the [Formula: see text] uniqueness to evaluate the temporal evolution of electron density [Formula: see text] and temperature [Formula: see text]. The results are in good agreement as measured from the Langmuir probe array in previous works.
