Results calculated are analyzed for different plasma parameters. Relations between major plasma parameters, such as density and temperature, are obtained and key physical processes in the neutral beam heating, including beam power deposition, trapped fraction, heating efficiency, and power loss, are simulated. Other physical processes, such as current-drive, toroidal rotation and neutron emission, are also discussed.展开更多

To study the neutral beam shinethrough power loss, the physics processes of neutral beam attenuation in plasma are described and simulated by the code ONETWO/NUBEAM. The simulated input plasma parameter forms are tested through curve fitting of measured shinethrough in DIII-D. The power density distribution of shinethrough is obtained by analytical governing expression. The surface temperature rise testing for a copper target is also discussed.展开更多
