LHD Bootstrap Current Coefficient Calculations with the VENUS+δ f code

Normalized bootstrap current coefficients are calculated for Large Helical Device (LHD, Japan) plasma configurations with different magnetic axis positions using the VENUS+δf code [Fusion Sci. Technol. 50, 440 (2006)]. The dependences on the different collisionality regimes (over the full experiment...

Description
Summary:Normalized bootstrap current coefficients are calculated for Large Helical Device (LHD, Japan) plasma configurations with different magnetic axis positions using the VENUS+δf code [Fusion Sci. Technol. 50, 440 (2006)]. The dependences on the different collisionality regimes (over the full experimental range of LHD plasma discharges) and the plasma radii are presented. The comparison of the VENUS+δf, SPBSC and DKES codes results is shown. The approach to the LHD experimental results is discussed. The bootstrap current effect on the iota = 1 islands is considered.
