Abstract

The Grad–Shafranov equation plays a very important role in analysis of the plasma equilibrium in magnetic confinement configurations such as the tokamak. In tokamaks which are operating in Ohmic heating regime, the Grad–Shafranov equation can be expanded through the inverse aspect ratio parameter. Consequently, the first order of poloidal flux function and the poloidal/radial components of the magnetic field are obtained. In this study, by considering the effect of tokamak non-circularity, a semi-analytic model which is based on magnetic measurements was developed and highest and lowest values of plasma internal inductance and poloidal beta were estimated by means of the poloidal and radial magnetic field experimental data acquired from Damavand tokamak magnetic probes.
