Title: Integrated Predictive Models for ICRF-Edge Plasma Interactions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/841614· OSTI ID:841614

The coupling of radiofrequency waves to the edge plasma of a fusion device produces strong nonlinear interactions with the plasma and surrounding material walls which must be controlled in order to protect the antenna and to obtain efficient heating of the core plasma. The goal of the STTR project was to develop the first quantitative numerical simulation of this problem. This report describes the results of the Phase I work by Lodestar and ORNL on this project.
