Abstract

High confinement mode (H-mode) in tokamaks is characterized by the formation of a transport barrier at the edge of the plasma. The H-mode increases the plasma energy confinement time by around a factor of two compared to the Low confinement mode (L-mode). This result made a great step towards achieving the higher temperatures and pressures needed to create ignition conditions. The Grad–Shafranov Equation describes the magnetic flux distribution of plasma in an axisymmetric system like a tokamak. In this paper, we have calculated the magnetic flux surfaces in IR-T1 tokamak by two methods. An analytical solution of magnetic surfaces approximated by equilibrium calculation of GS equation based on first three (and then four) terms of expansion in flux function. Results of two methods are in good agreement with each other.
