Abstract
In this paper we present analysis of the effects of Toroidal Field ripple (TF ripple) on the plasma energy confinement time 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 effects of TF ripple on the plasma energy confinement time discussed. In presence of the TF ripple and in low field side of the IR-T1 tokamak chamber (θ = 0), the local value of energy confinement time increased, whereas in the high field side (θ = 180), the energy confinement time decreased.
