Abstract
To distinguish between the beta effect and configuration effect due to an increment in beta on the gradual degradation of the global confinement property in high-beta plasmas on the Large Helical Device (LHD), the local transport characteristics in the high-beta plasmas are studied by considering the change in the major radius of the magnetic flux surface with the beta value. First, the influence of the change in the magnetic configuration on the local transport is studied in low-beta plasmas, and it is confirmed that the dependence of the local transport properties on the magnetic configuration is almost the same as that proposed in the ISS04 scaling in the entire plasma region. Next, the dependence of the local transport characteristics in high-beta plasmas on the major radial position of a geometric center of the magnetic flux surface is studied in comparison with that in low-beta plasmas. The dependence of the local transport in the peripheral region is correlated more with beta itself than the magnetic configuration effect, whereas the core transport appears to be correlated more with the configuration effect.
