Scaling laws are used to predict the performance of fusion devices. [1] Its extended use reflects the fact that detailed transport calculations or predictions on first principles are difficult. In the magnetic confinement field, they are mainly used to
- predict the performance of new (larger) devices, such as ITER
- summarize large amounts of experimental data
- make performance comparisons between devices
- make educated guesses at local transport mechanisms
