Modeling of the parametric dependence of the edge toroidal rotation for MAST and ASDEX Upgrade

Modeling of the edge toroidal rotation and its dependence on the edge plasma parameters is performed by means of the B2SOPS5.0 transport code for Ohmic shots both for MAST and ASDEX Upgrade configurations. The impact of plasma current, toroidal magnetic field, plasma density and temperature is investigated. A connection between the toroidal rotation and edge radial electric field is also studied. The results of the simulation are consistent with the parametric dependence predicted analytically.
