Abstract

Simulation results obtained with the axisymmetric Princeton Tokamak Simulation Code TSC are compared with experimental results for the time evolution of the Tokamak de Varennes plasma. The code correctly predicts experimental conditions; of special interest are the favourable comparisons of the simulation with experiments during fast current ramp-down (from 250 kA in 40 ms, three times faster than the L/R time).
