Modeling of ICRF heating of a tokamak plasma
A model for wave propagation and absorption of the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) has been constructed and fitted into the 1-D BALDUR transport code. The wave propagation is handled by ray tracing techniques. Wave absorption is calculated using the Fokker-Planck equation and quasilinear diffusion. The wave propagation and damping profiles are evolved in time according to the plasma evolution. A simulation of PLT hydrogen minority ICRF heating with a comparison to experimental data is given.
