Abstract
Scenarios of steady-state, fully non-inductive current in Tore Supra are
predicted using a package of simulation codes (CRONOS). The plasma
equilibrium and transport are consistently calculated with the
deposition of power. The achievement of high injected energy discharges
up to 1 GJ is shown. Two main scenarios are considered: a low density
regime with 90% non-inductive current driven by lower hybrid
waves—lower hybrid current drive (LHCD)—and a high density
regime combining LHCD and ion cyclotron resonance heating with a
bootstrap current fraction up to 25%. The predictive simulations of
existing discharges are also reported.
