Development of the neoclassical transport module for the integrated simulation code in helical plasmas

The neoclassical transport database, DCOM/NNW, is improved to evaluate the neoclassical transport flux more accurately in high-temperature plasma in LHD. GSRAKE code, which solves the ripple-averaged drift kinetic equation, is also used to extend the database to the further collisionless regime. Finally we construct a neoclassical transport database DCOM-GSRAKE/NNW for LHD (DGN/LHD). The neoclassical transport analyses of high temperature LHD plasma are performed using DGN/LHD. Also DGN/LHD is implemented as a neoclassical transport analysis module in the TASK3D, the integrated simulation code for a helical plasma. (copyright 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
