KINETIC INTEGRATED MODELING OF HEATING AND CURRENT DRIVE IN TOKAMAK PLASMAS

摘要

In the heating and current drive of tokamak plasmas, energetic particles are produced, and they affect heating and current drive processes such as wave absorption, beam deposition, and the fusion reaction. To self-consistently describe the behavior of energetic particles and develop a scheme to control them, integrated modeling of heating and current drive, including wave physics, time evolution of the particle distribution function in phase space, and transport processes, is necessary.
