Drift wave transport scalings introduced by varying correlation length
- Department of Electromagnetics, Chalmers University of Technology and EURATOM-VR Association, 41296 Goeteborg (Sweden)
Scalings of the correlation length of drift wave turbulence with magnetic current q, shear, elongation, and temperature ratio have been introduced into a drift wave transport model. The correlation length is calculated from linear scaling of the fastest growing mode. Such a procedure is supported by previous turbulence simulations with absorbing boundaries for short and long wavelengths. The resulting q and s scalings are now in better agreement with experimental scalings. In particular, the simulation results for transport barrier shots improve.
