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 کاملImprovement of the Drive Current in 5nm Bulk-FinFET Using Process and Device Simulations
Abstract: We present the optimization of the manufacturing process of the 5nm bulk-FinFET technology by using the 3D process and device simulations. In this paper, bysimulating the manufacturing processes, we focus on optimizing the manufacturingprocess to improve the drive current of the 5nm FinFET. The improvement of drivecurrent is one of the most important issues in ...
متن کاملCurrent profile control by alternating current magnetic helicity injection
Current profile control by ac magnetic helicity injection is computationally investigated in a reversed field pinch ~RFP!. Three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamics ~MHD! computation is employed to study the nonlinear MHD. During ac helicity injection, when toroidal and poloidal surface voltages are oscillated out of phase, the parallel electric field is maintained positive over a majori...
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...
