1.5D Quasilinear Model for Alpha Particle-TAE Interaction in ARIES ACT-I
Authors: K. Ghantous, N.N. Gorelenkov, C. Kessel, F. Poli
Abstract:
We study the TAE interaction with alpha particle fusion products in ARIES ACT-I using the
1.5D quasilinear model. 1.5D uses linear analytic expressions for growth and damping rates of TAE
modes evaluated using TRANSP pro les to calculates the relaxation of pressure pro les. NOVA-
K simulations are conducted to validate the analytic dependancies of the rates, and to normalize
their absolute value. The low dimensionality of the model permits calculating loss diagrams in large
parameter spaces.
