Abstract

In this work, the fully self-consistent predictive simulation of the typical ITER 15 MA scenario with Q = 10 is performed for the flat top phase of the scenario. The characteristic time delay of reaching the burning conditions with Q = 10 through L-H transition after onset of full heating is investigated with variation of dne/dt and (V, D). This work shows that plasma fuelling by pellet injection is a powerful tool in controlling the speed of fusion power increase after L-H transition and the way of plasma evolution towards steady state burn in ITER.
