Abstract: Spectral calculations of radio-frequency (rf) heating in tokamak plasmas are extended to two dimensions (2-D) by taking advantage of new computational tools for distributed memory, parallel computers. The integral form of the wave equation is solved in 2-D without any assumption regarding the smallness of the ion Larmor radius (ρ) relative to the perpendicular wavelength (λ⊥). Results are therefore applicable to all orders in k⊥ρ, where k⊥=2π/λ⊥. Previous calculations of rf wave propagation and heating in 2-D … Show more

“…Jaeger solves the relevant equation directly in k-space, relying on the collocation method [2]. In his approach, the continuous integral in k-space allowing to account for the dielectric response of the hot plasma to the wave is replaced by a discrete set of Fourier integrals.…”

“…A new solver is under development to help understand the ICRH wave propagation and damping in multiple dimensions. It is inspired on the basic philosophy pioneered by Jaeger [2] for the AORSA code, and intends to provide a rigorous computation of the wave polarisation at arbitrary cyclotron harmonics. It will be useful both to study hot plasma wave propagation and damping effects in fusion relevant plasmas, and to add kinetic effects to the description contained in codes describing the electric field close to the antenna.…”

“…Several full-wave numerical simulation codes have been developed to describe waves in fusion toroidal devices [1][2][3], exploiting symmetry or ray-tracing technique; at the same time, only few methods have been developed to obtain selfconsistent solutions for nonaxisymmetric ECRIS plasma [4][5][6].…”
