Fast Wave Current Drive on Diii - D
The physics of electron heating and current drive with the fast magnetosonic wave has been demonstrated on DIU-D , in reasonable agreement with theoretical modeling. A recently completed upgrade to the fast wave capability should allow f id noninductive current drive in steady state advanced confinement discharges and provide some current density profile control for the Advanced Tokamak Program...
متن کاملFast wave current drive in DEMO
The ability to non-inductively drive a large fraction of the toroidal plasma current in magnetically confined plasmas is an essential requirement for steady state fusion reactors such as DEMO. Besides neutral beam injection (NBI), electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and lower hybrid wave heating (LH), ion-cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is a promising candidate to drive current, in p...
متن کاملSpectral Effects on Fast Wave Core Heating and Current Drive
RF heating and current drive is an essential component in most magnetic fusion devices, including ITER. Recent results obtained with high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating and current drive (CD) on NSTX strongly support the hypothesis that the onset of perpendicular fast wave propagation right at or very near the launcher is a primary cause for reduced core heating efficiency at long wavelength...
متن کاملSelf-consistent calculations of parasitic ion absorption during fast wave electron current drive
Parasitic third harmonic absorption by deuterium in electron current drive scenarios is studied with the newly developed SELFO code calculating self-consistently the wave field and the deuterium distribution function including finite orbit widths and RF induced transport. Self-consistent calculations in toroidal geometry are obtained by iteratively calculating the ion distribution function with...
متن کاملEffect of nonlinear wave–particle interaction on electron-cyclotron absorption
We perform a self-consistent analysis of the nonlinear interaction of magnetized plasmas with electron-cyclotron (EC) waves. A closed set of equations is derived, which consists of the relativistic equations of motion under the wave field and the wave equation for the vector potential. The plasma is described in terms of ensembles of electrons which collectively determine the evolution of the w...
