Abstract
A linear version of the Canonical Profiles Transport Model (CPTM) is presented in this chapter. This version can be applied to Ohmically heated and L-mode plasmas in tokamaks. It is possible to apply this version also to the description of H-mode plasmas if the pedestal values of plasma temperatures and density are known. We present the expressions for the fluxes of heat, particles and toroidal rotation momentum, including critical gradients. These critical gradients are determined by the canonical profiles, defined in Chap. 2. The transport coefficients found by comparing the calculations with the experimental data are discussed. This is illustrated with examples from the tokamaks DIII-D, MAST and JET.
