Abstract:

An investigation on the saturation rule of the Trapped Gyro-Landau Fluid (TGLF) quasi-linear turbulent transport model has been performed. The turbulent fluxes obtained with TGLF was compared with the experimental fluxes based on experiment performed with DIII-D tokamak, at DIII-D National Fusion Facility. The gyrokinetic transport solvers are powerful models that solves non-linear simulations to inform and help the researchers involved in thermonuclear fusion development. One of the limitations of these code is the computational cost. To face this problem, reduced models have been developed. TGLF is a reduced model that compute a saturation rule calibrated to fit a set of nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation. A neural network based model for the TGLF saturation rule that has been developed to links the quasi-linear quantities computed with TGLF to the experimental fluxes. A New model of the saturation rule was find that better reproduce the experimental fluxes.
