Predicting high harmonic ion cyclotron heating efficiency in Tokamak plasmas

Journal Article Green, David L ; Jaeger, E. F. ; Berry, Lee A ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Observations of improved radio frequency (RF) heating efficiency in high-confinement (H-) mode plasmas on the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) are investigated by whole-device linear simulation. We present the first full-wave simulation to couple kinetic physics of the well confined core plasma to the poorly confined scrape-off plasma. The new simulation is used to scan the launched fast-wave spectrum and examine the steady-state electric wave field structure for experimental scenarios corresponding to both reduced, and improved RF heating efficiency. We find that launching toroidal wave-numbers that required for fast-wave propagation excites large amplitude (kVm 1 ) coaxial standing modes inmore »« less

Heating of plasma ions in a tokamak by the second-harmonic ion-cyclotron resonance interaction with radio-frequency waves

Journal Article Hwang, D Q ; Hosea, J ; Thompson, H ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The radio-frequency-wave heating of ions in a tokamak plasma employing the second-harmonic ion-cyclotron resonance interaction has been demonstrated in recent high-power (3-MW) experiments on the Princeton Large Torus tokamak.

Understanding ion cyclotron harmonic fast wave heating losses in the scrape off layer of tokamak plasmas

Conference Bertelli, N ; Jaeger, E F ; Hosea, J C ; ...

Fast waves at harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency, which have been used successfully on National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), will also play an important role in ITER and are a promising candidate for the Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) designs based on spherical torus (ST). Experimental studies of high harmonic fast waves (HHFW) heating on the NSTX have demonstrated that substantial HHFW power loss occurs along the open field lines in the scrape-off layer (SOL), but the mechanism behind the loss is not yet understood. The full wave RF code AORSA, in which the edge plasma beyond the lastmore »« less

High-harmonic ion cyclotron heating and current drive in ultra-small aspect ratio tokamaks

Conference Batchelor, D B ; Jaeger, E F ; Carter, M D ; ...

Ultra-small aspect ratio tokamaks present a totally new plasma environment for heating and current drive experiments and involve a number of physics issues that have not previously been explored. These devices operate at low magnetic field and relatively high density so that the effective dielectric constant of the plasma to high harmonic fast waves (HHFW), is quite high, and perpendicular wavelength of fast waves is very short. {lambda} {approximately} 2.0 cm compared with {lambda} - 10-20 cm. This makes possible strong electron absorption at high harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency, {Omega}{sub i}, and at fairly high phase velocity inmore »« less
