The magnetic diffusion equation is solved for discharges in the ST tokamak, eliminating the need to define plasma lumped circuit parameters. Agreement with experiment is obtained if the mean ionic charge increases by 50% from the measured value during the first 25 msec.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
