Double transport barriers pressure proﬁle

16.7 Double transport barriers pressure proﬁle

An analytic expression for the pressure proﬁle of double (inner and external) transport barriers is given by

( ( − (ψ − ψ )) ) ( ( − (ψ − ψ ))) P (ψ) = ai 1+ tanh -------i- +ae 1+ tanh -------e- − c wi we

(501)

where ψ is the normalized poloidal ﬂux, w_i and w_e are the width of the inner and external barriers, ψ_i and ψ_e are the locations of the barriers, a_i and a_e is the height of the barriers, c is a constant to ensure P(ψ) = 0 at ψ = 1.
