# 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
|
||
...
|
||
|
