Simulations for DIII-D discharges 132014, 132016, 132017, and 132018 with theory motivated and imposed ExB flow shear suppression factors


The theory motivated flow shear suppression yields reasonable anomalous transport suppression level as one can see from the comparison below. Left panels show results with theory motivated factor with fm_cexb coefficient equal to 1, while the right panels show results with imposed flow shear factor.

The coefficient might need to be increased somewhat (especially in the SOL region).
