Global data, for the energy confinement time and its controlling parameters, have now been collected from 18 machines of different sizes and shapes: ASDEX, ASDEX Upgrade, C-Mod CoMPASS-D, DIII-D, JET, JFT-2M, JT-60U, MAST, NSTX, PBX-M, PDX, START, T-10, TCV, TdeV, TFTR and TUMAN-3M. A wide range of physics studies has been performed on DB3 with particular progress made in the separation of core and edge behavior, dimensionless parameter analyses and the comparison of the database with one-dimensional transport code. A key aim of the database has always been to provide a basis for estimating the energy confinement properties of next step machines such as ITER, and so the impact of the database and its analysis on such machines is also discussed.

Times Cited Count：53 Percentile：82.21(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The condition of the latest version of the ELMy H-mode database has been re-examined. It is shown that there is bias in the ordinary least squares regression for some of the variables. To address these shortcomings three different techniques are employed: (a)principal component regression, (b)an error in variables technique and (c)the selection of a better conditioned dataset with fewer variables. Scalings in terms of the dimensionless physics valiables, as well as the standard set of engineering variables, are derived. The new scalings give a very similar performance for existing scalings for ITER at the standard beta, but a much improvement performance at higher beta.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：52.18(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Evolution of lower hybrid (LH) driven current profile was measured during the formation of internal transport barrier (ITB) in a reversed magnetic shear discharge. As the ITB developed, initially centrally peaked LH driven current profile gradually turned hollow and was sometimes accompanied by an off-axis peak in electron temperature profile followed by a sawtooth-like instability localized to the ITB. These observations indicate the concentration of LH power deposition at the ITB and suggest the difficulty of current profile control by LH waves once the ITB is established.
