Comments:

This is a duplicate of 2376 with decreasing the radial resolution. I need some resolution to see the bootstrap decrease on axis, but not too much to have LH current being driven there. This case has 60 zones and does not resolve the problem. Try decreasing the zones and also seeing what a little smoothing will do in conjunction with the current diffusion. For more information about the run see the input namelist.
