| Research Abstract |
Using a multi-fluid transport code TASK/TX developed by the representative of this research, plasma rotation driven by the torque arising from charge separation of fast neutrals in tokamaks has been studied and the physical mechanism of this torque was clarified. It is the first time to show the dependence of the efficiency of rotation drive on the vertical angle of a neutral beam injection. We have developed a diffusive transport model of neutrals that influence the formation of plasma density and rotation profiles. A benchmark with a Monte Carlo code verified that the model well reproduced the behavior of neutrals in a core region.
