Abstract
Predictions with the 1½-D BALDUR transport code, using recent theory based models for thermal and particle transport, are compared with measured profiles of electron plasma density and electron and ion temperatures for Ohmic, L-mode and supershot discharges on TFTR. The profile consistent drift wave model is found to overestimate the ion temperatures at high heating powers so that a third mode or loss process is needed in addition to drift wave transport (trapped electron mode and ηi mode) and an edge loss model. None of several versions of the local multiple mode models, using the 1989 Carreras-Diamond resistive ballooning mode, gives Te, Ti within 20% for all three TFTR regimes studied.
