More on the ExB flow shear effect on the temperature prediction for the DIII-D discharge 154406

The PTRANSP simulation 1554406A44 with the ten times ExB flow shear scaling factor (FACEXB=10) is completed. A notable effect on the electron and ion temperatures is observed. The temperatures are higher comparing to the previous simulations with FACEXB=0 (154406A41), FACEXB=1 (154406A30), and FACEXB=2 (154406A38). The main conclusion from these simulations is that the experimental level of ExB flow shear is low enough to have any significant effect on the anomalous transport.
