Abstract

Transport simulation of ECRH H-mode experiments on HL-2A tokamak is carried out using ONETWO code,the GLF23 and PEDESTAL models,along with TORAY code for ECRH.It is found that the initial electron and ion temperature profiles affect L-H transition significantly,and larger initial temperature gradient at the edge plasma benefits the transition.The simulation results show that it is possible to achieve ECRH H-mode with appropriate initial electron and ion temperature profiles under present discharge conditions on HL-2A tokamak.In addition,the pedestal density,electron temperature and pedestal width are predicted,and the evolutions of electron and ion temperature profile are calculated.
