Popis: The investigations of tungsten transport in T-10 plasma are presented in the current paper. The process of tungsten accumulation in OH discharges and its dependence on parameters ne, Ip, and Zeff are discussed. Peaked tungsten density profiles nW(r) are observed in plasmas with Zeff ≈ 1–1.5. In plasmas with Zeff ≈ 3–4, W accumulation is mainly integral with no profile peaking with regard to electron density ne(r). Lower densities of W are observed in discharges with a lithized T-10 vacuum vessel in comparison with plasma contaminated with light impurities. The disposal of W accumulation is produced by auxiliary ECRH input. During the central ECRH, the tungsten density profile flattens with the central density drop off by ~10 times together with W source increase up to 4 times.
