Simulation of an Ohmic Regime in the T-15MD Tokamak Based on the Canonical Profile Transport Model.

The canonical profiles transport model (CPTM), whose coefficients were determined from the T‑10 tokamak database with a standard magnetic field B_T = 2.3–2.5 T, has shown its robustness in ohmic regimes with a reduced magnetic field B_T = 1.55–2.1 T. We used the CPTM for predictions of radial profiles and dependences of the electron and ion temperatures and the energy confinement time on the average plasma density for the T-15MD tokamak at the initial stage of its operation: the ohmic regime in a circular limiter configuration with B_T = 1.0 – 2.0 T and plasma current I_p < 1 MA.
