Abstract

The practicability of a statistically induced thermal transport model (fit to the database) by exploiting transport analyses database accumulated by TASK3D-a (integrated transport analysis suite for LHD plasmas) is examined. The promising results, such as reproduction of measured ion temperature profiles and observed tendency, have been obtained through a systematic comparison against LHD plasmas. It encourages to further pursue a statistical approach for transport modelling of fusion plasmas.
