Impurity behaviour during neutral-beam injection and gas puffing into ORMAK

Abstract

Variations of the intensities of spectral lines are utilized to determine the extent to which the impurity concentrations of ORMAK-produced plasmas are altered by neutral-beam injection and, in some cases, by the simultaneous introduction of a puff of hydrogen. Concurrent variations of oxygen emissions resulting from alterations in the profiles of electron temperatures and concentrations are taken into account through solving the coupled continuity equations of the several ionic species of this element. Ad-hoc transport velocities are utilized and a complete re-cycling model is assumed.
