| 英文摘要 | Based on the theory of critical gradient model (CGM) and following the simulation method proposed by Waltz et al. [Nucl. Fusion 55, 123012 (2015)], a combination of TGLFEP and EPtran code is employed to predict the energetic particle (EP) transport induced by Alfven eigenmodes (AEs). To be consistent with the experiment, recent improvements to the simulation method include consideration of threshold evolution and orbit loss due to finite orbit width. The revised CGM is applied to simulate two DIII-D experimental discharges (#142111 and #153071). It well reproduces the experimental profiles with multiple unstable AEs and large-scale EP transport. Discharge #142111 had previously been simulated using a nonlinear MHD-kinetic code MEGA [Todo et al., Nucl. Fusion 55, 073020 (2015)] with a transport mechanism based on stochasticity induced by overlapping AE. By comparing the simulated EP profiles, we find that the AE transport threshold is approximated by both the MEGA nonlinear stability threshold and the proposed CGM threshold (error <5% for single n and <17% for multiple n simulation). Both of them are larger than the linear stability threshold of the most unstable AE mode by a quantity of the order of the flux needed to sustain EP transport by the background turbulence. We have also applied the improved CGM to simulate the alpha particle redistribution for a China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor steady state scenario. Because of the clear separation between the AE unstable region and the loss cone, only a moderate alpha particle loss of similar to 9.6% is predicted.
