With a given density profile of plasma,the temperature profiles of the plasma operating in the negative central magnetic shear mode,the H-mode and L-mode of conventional magnetic shear,are calculated respectively by applying the energy equation of electrons and ions,according to the thermal conductivity in different operational regimes.And then the electron cyclotron current drive and wave power deposition in the above modes are investigated with the relativistic Fokker-Planck equation incorporated into a ray tracing code.The result shows that in the mode of negative central magnetic shear,the current drive efficiency is the highest,meanwhile the zones of power deposition and current profile are wide.In the H-mode of conventional magnetic shear,the current drive efficiency is low,and the zones of power deposition and current profile are narrow.In the L-mode of conventional magnetic shear,the current drive efficiency is the lowest,the zones of power deposition and current profile are very narrow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
