Combined RF Current Drive and Bootstrap Current in Tokamaks
By calculating radio frequency current drive (RFCD) and the bootstrap current in a consistent kinetic manner, we find synergistic effects in the total noninductive current density in tokamaks [1]. We include quasilinear diffusion in the Drift Kinetic Equation (DKE) in order to generalize neoclassical theory to highly non-Maxwellian electron distributions due to RFCD. The parallel plasma current...

متن کاملProgress in ITER Heating and Current Drive System
Recent progress in the R&D and the design work of plasma heating and current drive (H&CD) technologies for ITER are described. The H&CD systems are composed of 20 MW electron cyclotron (EC), 20 MW ion cyclotron (IC) and 33 MW negative ion based neutral beam (N-NB) systems, and design and R&D work continues for plasma commissioning. Significant progress in R&D during the preceding two years has ...
متن کاملNumerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...
متن کاملOff-axis Electron Cyclotron Current Drive for Current Profile Control in Tokamaks*
Steady-state operation in a tokamak requires full noninductive support of the plasma current. Known methods of driving noninductive current are too inefficient to support more than a small fraction of the total plasma current. The route to a steady state tokamak lies through the Advanced Tokamak approach, for which improved confinement and stability support the plasma pressure at reduced plasma...
