Abstract
The transient transport analysis applied to the improved modes in LHD clearly show a bifurcation characteristics both in the inner and outer region of the plasma. The transient bifurcation of transport appears in the inner region of the plasma (r < a/2) after the TESPEL injection as a drop of heat flux associated with the spontaneous rise of electron temperature. in the with ITB and also outer region of the plasma in the pellet enhanced mode. The region where the bifurcation appears is consistent with the region where the ITB appears. The other bifurcation between gyro-Bhom transport and a weak temperature dependent transport is observed after the repetitive pellet injection in the outer region of the plasma [r > (2/3)a]. The time trace of heat flux and temperature gradient shows a negative transient thermal diffusivity, which is a clear evidence of bifurcation of transport.
