A ZERO DIMENSIONAL PLASMA MODEL AND THE STUDY OF THE INITIAL
PERFORMANCE OF THE ZT-40 EXPERIMENT
by
S. ORTOLANI
ABSTRACT
A plasma zero-dimensional model is described and
some results obtained to study the initial performance of
the ZT-40 experiment are discussed.
I. INTRODUCTION
The initial performance of the ZT-40 experiment has been studied by a
zero-dimensional plasma model. A computer code [ZCODEX] has been written on
the PDP-10 to solve the equations of the model. The code has been written by
adding other equations and terms to the OXYALU code developed by F. Jahoda and
which is described in the note enclosed here as Appendix I.
This report summarizes the main features of the model, describes some
aspects of how to use the code and briefly discusses some results obtained in
simulating the ZT-40 experimental performance. The model is essentially an
extension of the time dependent impurity radiation calculations described
elsewhere.^ The code written on the PDP-10 is similar to the one written in
Padua on the IBM computer using the CSMP package.9 The model has been applied
to many experiments such as ETA-BETA I4*5 and ETA-BETA II,®*^»® HBTX-1A, RFX
and ZETA,9 as well as to reactor calculations. 10
