15 Summary In order to describe both the electrostatic ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode and the electromagnetic current diffusive ballooning mode (CDBM), we have derived a set of reduced two-fluid equations in both slab and toroidal configurations and numerically solved them as an eigenvalue problem. Linear analysis in a toroidal configuration describes a ballooning mode, which we call DABM (Drift Alfvén Ballooning Mode). Small pressure gradient: Toroidal ITG mode Large pressure gradient: Ballooning mode with stabilizing ω Based on the theory of self-sustained turbulence, we have numerically calculated the transport coefficients from the marginal stability condition. When α is small, χ is approximately proportional to α 3/. χ is an increasing function of s α; similar to CDBM model which successfully reproduces the ITB formation.
16 When α exceeds a critical value, χ starts to increase strongly with α, which may suggest the stiffness of the profile Using an electrostatic approximation, we have derived a formula of thermal diffusivity slightly different from the CDBM model. Preliminary transport simulation reproduces the formation of ITB. The barrier locates in outer region and the gradient is steeper than the CDBM model. More general expression is required for high-β electromagnetic region.
