摘要

Two experiments on DIII-D have been performed with the purpose of searching for evidence of a critical electron temperature gradient or gradient scale length. Both experiments employed off-axis electron cyclotron heating to vary the local value of inverse temperature scale length 1/L_(Te) = —▽T_e/T_e while holding the total heating power and thus edge temperatures constant. The incremental or heat pulse thermal diffusivity was monitored as a means of identifying the existence of a threshold or critical value of 1/L_(Te), k_(crit), where a large increase in heat pulse diffusivity may occur while going from below to above k_(crit). No evidence of a critical value was found, but the existence of one cannot be ruled out by the experimental results. The results can be used to place an upper bound on k_(crit). If k_(crit) exists, the experimental results indicate k_(crit) < 3.8 m~(-1) at ρ = 0.45 and k_(crit) < 2.5m~(-1) at ρ = 0.29 corresponding to temperature scale lengths relative to the plasma minor radius of L_(Te)/a > 0.43 and 0.65, respectively. Over most of the plasma radius (ρ ≥ 0.3) the temperature profile in the L-mode discharges studied exceeds these upper bounds on k_(crit). A transport model based on a critical gradient is consistent with experimental observations but is not unique. Models other than one based on the existence of a critical gradient are also consistent with experimental observations.
