Abstract
Neoclassical transport in the banana regime has been analyzed with the DKES (Drift Kinetic Equation Solver) code for the Large Helical Device (LHD). It is found that in a 1/v regime, diffusion coefficients change by one order of magnitude for various configurations of LHD (-0.2 m {<=} {Delta} {<=} 0 m, 0% {<=} Bq {<=} 200%, -0.1 {<=} {alpha} {<=} 0.1), depending on the structure of the helical magnetic ripple. The neoclassical transport calculated with the DKES code is quantitatively, in good agreement with multi-helicity theory formulated by Shaing and Hokin. Incorporating the multi-helicity effect into the diffusion coefficient, we have proposed an interpolation formula between the 1/v and v regimes. When the ion temperature is increased at a fixed density of n = 10{sup 20} m{sup -3}, the ions undergo a transition from 1/v neoclassical transport to the v regime when their temperature T{sub i} becomes > 3 keV with radial electric potential e{phi} comparable to the ion temperature (e{phi}/T{sub i} {approx_equal} 1). For the optimized configuration ({Delta} = -0.2 m, Bq = 100%), the ion thermal diffusivity {chi}{sub i} has a maximum value of {chi}{sub i} {approx_equal} 3.5 m{sup 2}/s at a minor radius of r/a {approx_equal} 0.5.
