A dimensionless parameter dependence study of intrinsic torque was conducted on H- and I-mode plasmas from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. The intrinsic torque was found to scale with certain parameters, and estimated total intrinsic torques for ITER, SPARC, and ARC were provided.
A dimensionless parameter dependence study of intrinsic torque has been performed on a database of H- and I-mode plasmas from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. The torque was determined by comparing intrinsic angular momentum density profiles just before and just after L-H and L-I transitions. The intrinsic torque has been found to scale as beta N1.5 rho*-1.0 nu*0.1<= 1.5, 0.004 <= rho(*) <= 0.011 and 0.04 <= nu(*) <= 0.9. Comparison with results from JET and DIII-D suggests that the intrinsic torque should be normalized by some measure of the device size. Depending upon this normalization, the estimated total intrinsic torques for ITER, SPARC and ARC are similar to 20, similar to 4 and similar to 8 Nm, respectively.
