Transport barriers with magnetic shear in a tokamak
Abstract
The reversed magnetic shear is the most important factor in the study of the plasmas of a tokamak. In this paper we focus our research, as a first stage, on the control of the improved confinement regimes by studying the influence of the reversed shear on its quality in the plasma of a tokamak and especially in reducing the anomalous transport in ITER. Then we study the influence of the perturbation modes on the particle diffusion. At the end, a comparison between simulation results obtained using ITER and TEXT parameters is carried out.
