WP3.1: Reference case setup Recently, the experimental scenario underlying the NLED/NAT AUG reference case34 has been further developed to reach a stationary flat-top phase (Oct. 2017). In this phase, one can analyze the EP transport on time scales considerably longer than the slowing down time. It is proposed to adopt the previous NLED case according to this new data and to create a sufficiently generic base case for theory-code-experiment comparisons. In addition it is proposed to extend the previous studies on the standard ITER scenario (15MA) and to set up a DEMO-type burning plasma case. Further, DTT (intermediate to high-n) and JT-60SA-type (low-n, high-beta) scenarios will be considered. For simplicity, and for making benchmark possible with codes using simplified geometry, “circular magnetic flux surface“ equivalent cases will be provided.

Milestone:
WP3-M1 - Finishing selection of reference cases and relevant plasma scenarios for code
benchmarking and testing of reduced EP transport models; finishing linear stability analysis by all
codes involved (Dec. 2019).
Deliverable:
WP3-D1 - Well documented reference cases for various scenarios; data base providing
linear stability properties for all participating codes (2019).
