User's manual for the Oak Ridge Tokamak Transport Code
A one-dimensional tokamak transport code is described which simulates a plasma discharge using a fluid model which includes power balances for electrons and ions, conservation of mass, and Maxwell's equations. The modular structure of the code allows a user to add models of various physical processes which can modify the discharge behavior. Such physical processes treated in the version of the code described here include effects of plasma transport, neutral gas transport, impurity diffusion, and neutral beam injection. Each process can be modeled by a parameterized analytic formula or at least one detailed numerical calculation. The program logic of each module is presented, followed by detailed descriptions of each subroutine used by the module. The physics underlying the models is only briefly summarized. The transport code was written in IBM FORTRAN-IV and implemented on IBM 360/370 series computers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and on the CDC 7600 computers of the Magnetic Fusion Energy (MFE) Computing Center of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. A listing of the current reference version is provided on accompanying microfiche.
