Integrated Modeling of Tokamak Plasmas

The effect of ExB is investigated by scaling the ExB flow shear rates. In the simulations results presented below, the ExB flow shear rate is scaled by the factor of 2 (164510T17) and by the factor of 5 (164510T18). Very small effect on both electron and ion temperatures is found at the first time of interest:

The ion temperature is affected somewhat more at later time when the ExB flow shear is increased by the factor of 5:
