Profile consistency (or profile resilience) is the observation that profiles (of temperature, density, and pressure) often tend to adopt roughly the same shape (in [[Tokamak|tokamaks]]), regardless of the applied heating and fueling profiles. | Profile consistency (or profile resilience or stiffness) is the observation that profiles (of temperature, density, and pressure) often tend to adopt roughly the same shape (in [[Tokamak|tokamaks]]), regardless of the applied heating and fueling profiles. | ||
