Self-consistent core-edge nonlinear transport simulations with CORSICA 2

摘要

The coupled core-edge nonlinear transport code CORSICA 2 is introduced and the structure of its iterative coupling algorithm is briefly discussed. Selected application results are reported that reproduce equilibria in DIII-D discharges with plasma profiles initialized from the experimental data. Simulations for an L-H transition and for a gas puffing experiment in DIII-D plasmas are presented.
