  • Abstract
    A time-dependent, zero-dimensional computer model with no adjustable parameters, for magnetically confined plasmas, is described. It predicts spatially averaged values of plasma density and electron and ion temperatures, and its predictions compare well with volume averaged measurements made in the Wisconsin Levitated Toroidal Octupole. The model is easily adaptable to predict scaling in other devices.
