Status of H-mode confinement Databaseby K. Thomsen, Lausanne, May 2007
New preliminary version DB4v4 (12100 obs) - New data from AUG, DIII-D, JET, JT-60U, NSTX- Hybrid data marked with new variable HYBRID (=yes)- Other new variables: OJK2006, RHOINV, TAUCR, FBS, WROT, RHOQ2, ITB, ITBTYPE
Corrections have been received from AUG, JET, JT-60U. Only JT-60U has released FBS and RHOQ2 data Other problems has been identified by A.Chudnovskiy. Hybrid datasets from AUG, DIII-D and JET are
preliminary versions. Notice PHASE=HGELM? OJK2006 will be set in the next release NF paper on DB3 has been published
Nucl. Fusion 47 (2007) 147-174. Well done Darren!!!
Analyses
New scaling expression(s) from Otto Kardaunas presented yesterday
We need to establish an action plan for the paper based on Otto’s analyses
Analyses of the Hybrid data in DB4v4- KT no time due to other commitments- Any other?- Can we do some analyses at this meeting?- Action plan
Version DB4 compared to DB3
New data from NSTX New data from JET New data from DIII-D New data from MAST New data from AUG New data from JT-60U
Data descriptions outstanding on the new data Review Sheets
Pedestal data?
Web page with documentation and access to different formats of the Db4v4 database http://efdasql.ipp.mpg.de/igd/ITER/DataInfo/Db4v3/DB4v4.htm
DB4v3 is combined w. Pedestal DB DB3v3 (HDB4v3_PDB3v3)
Review sheets for all data in DB4v3
New List of Variables
Action List from Chengdu
Combine hybrid data with DB4v3 + new AUG dataAUG, DIII-D and JET data before 1st DecemberJT-60U and NSTX data before 1st January – Done(late)
Data values for the new ‘hybrid’ variables to be collectedr/a(q=2), taucr, fBS, Rinv - (taucr and Rinv calc. Only JT-60U has provided r/a(q=2) and FBS)
Analyse Hybrid data H-mode WS contribution (KT) – not yet
Work on OK’s analysis paper ( and EPS?) – in progress
Work together with pedestal group to improve scalar pedestal db with hybrid data new two term scaling analysis – no progress
Comments on Issue Cards as required – none so far

Comments from Alexander Chudnovskiy on DB4v4
Comments on results of comparison1. There is TYP-I-II among ELMTYP types.
This type is not described in the List of variables. The variable list includes TYPE-II but it is absent in DB4v4.
2. There is O1 among ECHMOD types. It is not described in the List of variables. The variable list includes O but it is absent in DB4v4.
Remarks on parameters values.1. The PGASA for 2 JET shots 46004 and 46005 is equal to 14.01 in
both DB4v4 and DB3v13.2. The BETMHD values for NSTX shots from 115495 to 117995 are
in the range from 5 to 35. They are probably given in percents.3. A lot of AUG shots have to high NE0 values.
Hybrid definition
1. Define baseline ITER scenario with aims
2. Create candidate modes on present toks
3. See if they scale to baseline
Definition:
• Steady, low central (x=0-0.5) shear q-profile (tdur > 1-2 tauCR)
• steady state w. ELMs for tdur >> tauE,
Hybrid characterisation
• Confinement scaling v tau98(y,2)…
• Residuals v. H98(y,2) for new fraction
• Correlation study
• Bootstrap fraction
Extra variables: fBS, rho(q=2), TauCR, inversion radius, ITB flag

Correlations in Hybrid dataset
B,I: AUG has good coverage, JET has fixed q95 but a I range, DIII-D at fixed B,I
nu*,rho*: good rho* spread, less so in nu*. AUG has some big outliers due to high density discharges
AUG, DIII-D, JET
Fit of confinement to IPB98(y,2)
JET seems to follow IPB98(y,2) with H=1.
Both AUG and DIII-D have improved confinement with the bulk of the data with H=1-1.7. H clearly increases with tauE, so has a different scaling
AUG, DIII-D, JET
Residual trend with density and power
Density and power scalings on DIII-D are very different to 98(y,2). JET shows no residual, AUG may follow either trend
One concern is the narrow spread of data in DIII-D
AUG, DIII-D, JET
Trend with rho* and nu*
•Strongest correlation seems to be residual H scaling with rho*
•This would not be good for ITER
•May be due to strong rho*-BetaNth correlation, but may be real (q95~4 had more Bohm-like scaling in ELMy H-mode rho* scan)
AUG, DIII-D, JET
