Ignitor modelling by the Culham Group

Creators

Description

An assessment of the possibility of ignition in the proposed IGNITOR device is made. Three levels of modelling are considered: (i) a zero-dimensional description to explore a wide variety of energy confinement scalings, (ii) a one dimensional transport code to examine dynamic profile effects and (iii) a 1 1/2 dimensional transport code to allow for toroidal and shaping effects and study some physics based models for thermal diffusivities. MHD stability issues are also examined and finally the probability of ignition is discussed. (author)
