Investigation of the boundary condition effect on the electron temperature prediction for the DIII-D discharge 154406


The boundary conditions have been moved from 0.8 to 0.9 in the simulation of the electron temperature profile for the DIII-D discharge 154406 (154406A40). The ion temperature is not evolved. The predicted temperature profile agree with the experimental profile at approximately the same level as in the simulation with the boundary condition set at 0.8 (154406A30).

The predicted electron temperature profile shown as a solid curve is compared with the experimental temperature profile shown as dashed curve.
