被引用回数:35 パーセンタイル:83.31(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The ITPA IOS group has coordinated experimental and modeling activity on the development of advanced inductive scenarios for applications in the ITER tokamak. This report documents the present status of the physics basis and the prospects for applications in ITER. The key findings are: (1) inductive scenarios capable of higher than the ITER baseline scenario () with normalized confinement at or above the standard H-mode scaling have been established under stationary conditions on the four largest diverted tokamaks (AUG, DIII-D, JET, JT-60U) in a broad range in and density; (2) MHD modes can play a key role in reaching stationary high performance, but also define the stability and confinement limits; (3) the experiments have yielded clearer measurements of the normalized gyroradius scalin; and (4) coordinated modeling activity supports the present research by clarifying the most significant uncertainties in the projections to ITER.

ECRH assisted plasma breakdown is foreseen with full and half magnetic field in ITER. As reported earlier, the corresponding O1- and X2-schemes have been successfully used for pre-ionisation and breakdown assist in present day devices. This contribution reports on common experiments studying the effect of toroidal inclination of the ECR beam, which is in ITER. All devices could demonstrate successful breakdown assist also for this case, although in some experiments the necessary power was almost a factor of two higher compared to perpendicular launch. Differences between the devices with regard to the required power and vertical field are discussed and analysed. In contrast to most of these experiments, ITER will build up loop voltage prior to the formation of the field null due to the strong shielding by the vessel. Possible consequences of this difference are discussed.
