Numerical simulation of ion cyclotron heating of hot tokamak plasmas

Abstract: The authors have written a code for the solution of the integro-differential equations describing coupling, propagation and absorption of high frequency waves in the ion cyclotron frequency range in tokamak plasmas, taking into account finite Larmor radius effects and parallel dispersion. The wave equations are discretized by a semi-spectral approach, using cubic Hermite finite elements in the radial direction and an expansion in Fourier modes in the poloidal direction. The latter permits analytic evaluation o… Show more

“…The TORIC code uses an FLR expansion to convert this vector integro-differential equation into a sixth order partial differential equation. 5,8 This approximation retains the second harmonic wave frequency and is second order in the ion gyro-radius, (ρ i = v ti /Ω ci ), for plasma interactions with the wave.…”

“…While the approximation to the integral plasma current response is done to second order in the normalized perpendicular wavenumber, k ⊥ ρ i , the damping for the IBW is good to all orders. This is done by modifying the imaginary part of the plasma dispersion to account for the IBW damping, while leaving the real part unchanged 8 .…”

“…Several full-wave numerical simulation codes have been developed to describe waves in fusion toroidal devices [1][2][3], exploiting symmetry or ray-tracing technique; at the same time, only few methods have been developed to obtain selfconsistent solutions for nonaxisymmetric ECRIS plasma [4][5][6].…”
