Abstract:A new model of fast ion source induced by Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in tokamaks has been implemented in the hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic code XTOR-K. This source, combined with the collisions also recently implemented, allows for the modeling of realistic slowing-down populations and their interplay with macroscopic modes. This paper describes the Neutral Beam injection and ionization model designed to reproduce experimental configurations and its validation for a typical discharge of the ASDEX Upgrad… Show more
