Short Description

Transport solver that uses transport models to solve the energy, particle and momentum balance equations and predicts plasma profiles

Keywords

transport, TRANSP

Long Description

The core plasma fluid transport equations are solved with a static flux surface geometry constructed from an axisymmetric MHD equilibrium solutions. Experimental profiles and power balance is extracted from the TRXPL code producing a plasma state file.

Typical workflows

1. Load plasma state file from TRXPL

   • Select shot, TRANSP runID, time and averaging time

   • Extract TRANSP plasma state

2. Choose transport model and options

   • Select transport model from drop-down selector

   • Load transport model specific namelist

   • Select transport channels and options

   • Run simulation

Supported devices

• All TRANSP tokamaks
