Abstract
In view of the ultimate goal of producing long-lasting quasi-stationary discharges required for future fusion power stations, the numerical study of steady-state solutions of equations describing the particle and energy balance rightfully gets ample attention. Transient states may, however, differ significantly from the steady state ultimately reached and will – in practice – impact on the actual fate of the discharge. Using brutally simple models, the present paper highlights a number of aspects to illustrate this dynamics. It e.g. shows the different signature of wave and beam heating, potentially giving room to transiently trigger desirable effects that may allow us to better steer a discharge.
