# NAME
profiles.txt --- Kinetic plasma profiles data for **gray**(1)
# FORMAT
The plasma profiles can be specified in two ways: either as the free parameters
of a simple analytical model, or as numerical data in a tabular format.
## analytical profiles
The format for the analytical profiles is as follows:
n₀ a b ! comment
T₀ T₁ c d
Z_eff
The first line contains the parameters for the electron density as a function
of the normalised poloidal flux *n(ψ)*, which in units of 10¹⁹ m⁻³ is given as:
n(ψ) = n₀(1 - ψ^a)^b
Similarly, the second line contains the parameters for the electron temperature
*T(ψ)*, which is defined in units of keV as:
T(ψ) = (T₀ - T₁)(1 - ψ^c)^d + T₁
The last lines contains the (constant) value of the effective charge.
## numerical profiles
The format for the numerical consists of a table with the following columns:
*radial coordinate*, *temperature*, *density*, *effective charge*.
The first line is a header specifying the number of table rows and subsequent
lines contains the whitespace-separated records, one row per line:
nrows ! comment
ρ₁ T₁ n₁ Z₁
ρ₂ T₂ n₂ Z₂
...
