Research Abstract

Through investigations in experimental results on various tokamak machine worldwide, relationship between a way how a plasma is ramped up and resultant current profile and confinement characteristics is documented. Through investigations on related simulation results worldwide and execution of simulation of our own, evaluation on current profile evolution is carried out. Furthermore, evaluation of the current profile and the confinement characteristics of a high confinement plasma, which is expected to be formed as a result of optimized plasma ramp up.
