Numerical Computation of Wave-Plasma Interaction in Multi-Dimensional Systems (Final Report, August 1, 2001-December 31, 2004)

摘要

The work under this contract and contributions to the 'rf SciDAC project' in the years 2001 - 2004 covered three related areas of research: (a) developing a theory of rf-generated forces and sheared poloidal flow velocities in tokamak plasmas; (b) development of a wavelet diagnostic for the spatial dependence of the local k-vectors of propagating rf waves; and (c) an initial assessment of the formalism and computational methods for Parametric Decay Instability studies in inhomogeneous plasmas.
