Interpretation

Running the simulation, various fort.* files are generated, they are space-seperated data files and each one of them corresponds to specific aspects of the solution, we have:

Dispersion roots: fort.27

column one is the distance in meters from the LFS to the HFS centered at the major radius, the other columns 2-13 are the 12 dispersion relations.

Example JET roots

Electric fields: fort.29

This file contains the real and imaginary parts of the electric field in the + direction, in the - direction and the parallel direction with column one again being the major-radius centered distance in meters and:

  • Re(E+): column 2

  • Im(E+): column 3

  • Re(E-): column 4

  • Im(E-): column 5

  • Re(E_par): column 6

  • Im(E_par): column 7

Example JET E+ Example JET E- Example JET E_par

Per species power absorption: fort.30

This shows the absorbed power per species per unity incoming flux, the order is as defined in Input Column one is again the distance with:

  • Species one: column 2

  • Species two: column 3

And if more species are present, more columns will be present.

Example JET power absorption

Power and flux: fort.31

Column one is the same as before with:

  • P_tot: column 2

  • Re(Flux): column 4

  • Im(Flux): column 5

Example JET flux Example JET total power absorption

Current Drive: fort.38

If the current drive was calculated, this file should exist with again distance being column 1 and the Driven current densities [A/W/m^2]:

  • J_{RF,tot}: column 2

  • J_{RF,e}: column 3

  • J_{RF,Min}: column 4

Example JET CD current

Current Drive: fort.39

If the current drive was calculated, this file should exist with again distance being column 1 and the Integrated driven currents [A/W]:

  • I_{RF,tot}: column 2

  • I_{RF,e}: column 3

  • I_{RF,Min}: column 4

Example JET Integrated CD current

Density profiles, Temperature and Magnetic field: fort.60

The first column again corresponds to the distance , for N species the corresponding densities [#/m^3] are located in the even columns 2,4,…,2N. The temperature in a given species is located in the odd column following the density column so 3,5,…,2N+1 Finally the magnetic field [T] is located in column 2*N + 2.
