Modelling of the radial electric field and poloidal velocity profiles with the XGC0 code


The XGC0 code has been also used to model the radial electric field and poloidal velocity profiles for the KSTAR discharge 7328. The profiles for the three cases with different collisionalities that are described in the previous post are shown below.

The poloidal velocity and radial electric field in the H-mode pedestal region strongly depend on the plasma collisionality.
