| الوصف: | An integrated framework that demonstrates multi-species, multi-channel modelling capabilities for the prediction of impurity density profiles and their feedback on the main plasma through radiative cooling and fuel dilution is presented. It combines all presently known theoretical elements in the local description of quasilinear turbulent and neoclassical impurity transport, using the models TGLF-SAT2 and FACIT. These are coupled to the STRAHL code for impurity sources and radiation inside the ASTRA transport solver. The workflow is shown to reproduce experimental results in full-radius L-mode modelling. In particular, a set of ASDEX Upgrade L-modes with differing heating power mixtures and plasma currents are simulated, including boron (B) and tungsten (W) as intrinsic impurities. The increase of predicted confinement with higher current and the reduction of core W peaking with higher central wave heating are demonstrated. Furthermore, a highly radiative L-mode scenario featuring an X-point radiator (XPR) with two intrinsic (B, W) and one seeded argon (Ar) species is simulated, and its measured radiated power and high confinement are recovered by the modelling. The stabilizing effect of impurities on turbulence is analysed and a simple model for the peripheral X-point radiation is introduced. A preliminary full-radius simulation of an H-mode phase of this same discharge, leveraging recent work on the role of the E×B shearing at the edge, shows promising results. |
