Description
In the 2016 EAST experimental campaign, a steady-state long-pulse H-mode discharge lasting longer than one minute has been obtained using only Radio Frequency heating and current drive. Integrated modeling of one long-pulse H-mode discharge has been performed with equilibrium code EFIT, and transport codes TGYRO and ONETWO under integrated modeling framework OMFIT. The plasma current is fully-noninductively driven with a combination of ~2MW LHW, ~0.3MW ECH and ~1.1MW ICRF. Time evolution of predicted electron and ion temperature profiles through integrated modeling agree closely with that from measurements. The plasma current(Ip~0.45 MA) and electron density are kept constantly and the simulated plasma current density profile is compared with that constrained by far-infrared polarimeter/interferometer. Validation with the experiments on EAST will increase our confidence for ITER and CFETR design and simulations.
