Abstract

In this paper we present an investigation of the effects of Toroidal Field ripple (TF ripple) on the Shafranov parameter in IR-T1 Tokamak. For this purpose, a diamagnetic loop with its compensation coil were designed and installed on outer surface of the IR-T1 Tokamak. Amplitude of the TF ripple is obtained 0.01, and also the effect of TF ripple on the Shafranov parameter discussed. In presence of the TF ripple and in low field side of the IR-T1 Tokamak chamber (θ = 0), the local value of Shafranov parameter increased, whereas in the high field side (θ = 180) the Shafranov parameter decreased.
