Description
In recent experiments on TFTR the concept of marginal stability for ion temperature gradient driven modes was tested by pellet fuelling which strongly increased ηi=Ln/LTi. Such a shot was studied with a fluid transport model and it was found that, as in the experiment, the maximum χi does not increase. This is due to stabilizing effects of compressibility and non-adiabaticity. (author). Letter-to-the-editor. 14 refs, 3 figs
