Abstract

Two phases of a DIII-D discharge with and without magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) activity are analysed using ONETWO code. The toroidal momentum flux is extracted from experimental data and compared with the predictions by neoclassical theory, Gyro–Landau fluid transport model (GLF23) and Multi-Mode model (MMM95). It is found that without MHD activities GLF23 and MMM95 provide a reasonable description while with MHD activity no model alone can fully describe the experimental momentum flux. For the phase with MHD activity a simple model of resonant magnetic drag is tested and it cannot fully explain the plasma slowing down observed in experiment.
