Title: Numerical simulation of Bootstrap Current

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10160602· OSTI ID:10160602

The neoclassical theory of Bootstrap Current in toroidal systems is calculated in magnetic flux coordinates and confirmed by numerical simulation. The effects of magnetic ripple, loop voltage, and magnetic and electrostatic perturbations on bootstrap current for the cases of zero and finite plasma pressure are studied. The numerical results are in reasonable agreement with analytical estimates.
