Description
In the calculation for tau_e_h98 (and also tau_e_ds03):
function tau_e_h98(eqt::IMAS.equilibrium__time_slice, cp1d::IMAS.core_profiles__profiles_1d, cs::IMAS.core_sources)
total_source = total_sources(cs, cp1d)
total_power_inside = total_source.electrons.power_inside[end] + total_source.total_ion_power_inside[end] - radiation_losses(cs)
isotope_factor =
integrate(cp1d.grid.volume, sum(ion.density .* ion.element[1].a for ion in cp1d.ion if ion.element[1].z_n == 1.0)) / integrate(cp1d.grid.volume, sum(ion.density for ion in cp1d.ion if ion.element[1].z_n == 1.0))
R0, B0 = vacuum_r0_b0(eqt)
tau98 = (
0.0562 *
abs(eqt.global_quantities.ip / 1e6)^0.93 *
abs(B0)^0.15 *
(total_power_inside / 1e6)^-0.69 *
(ne_vol_avg(cp1d) / 1e19)^0.41 *
isotope_factor^0.19 *
R0^1.97 *
(R0 / eqt.boundary.minor_radius)^-0.58 *
eqt.boundary.elongation^0.78
)
return tau98
end
the power equation for "total_power_inside" ignores all losses due to radiation. However, according to Stambaugh 2011 eqn. 98 it is appropriate to include losses due to Bremsstrahlung radiation since this is new feature of burning plasmas. This is indeed what GASC does, and so for an apples-to-apples comparison it would make sense to do the same in FUSE.
