    Abstract

    A one-dimensional transport model is used to study edge poloidal shear flow generation during gas puffing experiments and hysteresis effects in the generation of this flow. Above a critical threshold the shear flow improves confinement by reducing turbulent transport. For subcritical flows (i.e., flows that do not trigger transition to a higher confinement regime), there is no true hysteresisin theflow. An apparent lag may be observed if the rateof ramping the particle source is rapid relative to transport time scales. Initial work on critical flows is also presented.
