TDMFP is a two-dimensional, nonlinear Fokker-Planck code applicable to the time integration of the electron distribution function f/sub e/ (x,theta) in a square-well trap. Several fixed Maxwellian ionic species may be specified. Technically a multiple number of additional ionic distribution functions f/sub a/ (x,theta) may be time-integrated; this however is of questionable relevance since there is usually a large disparity between the electron and ion timescales; no applications to date have made use of this option, and the remainder of these notes do not take into consideration such additional ionic species. Problems which require the solution of Fokker-Planck equations for ions and not electrons should be run with the code HYBRID-II. The core of TDMFP is the general Fokker-Planck package FPPAC.
