The magnetic shear for a concentric circular configuration is defined by
|
(363) |
where is the minor radius of a magnetic surface. The above expression can
be re-arranged as
|
(364) |
Integrating the above equation over and assuming is a constant,
we obtain
|
(365) |
Performing the integration, the abvoe equation is written as
|
(366) |
where
. Equation (366) can be finally written as
|
(367) |
This is a profile with a constant magnetic shear . In Ben's toroidal ITG
simulation, the following profile is used:
|
(368) |
with
. This is a linear profile over , with
the values of and the shear at being and ,
respectively.
