Book excerpt: Experimental measurements of the dispersion and damping of externally excited lower hybrid waves are presented. A multiple-ring slow-wave antenna, having 2$pi$/k/sub z/ = 23 cm, is used to excite these waves in the Princeton L3 or L4 linear devices (B = 0.5 -- 2.8 kG uniform to +- 1 percent for 1.6 m, n approximately 10$sup 10$, T/sub e/ approximately 3-5 eV, T/sub i/ less than or equal to 0.1 eV, He gas, plasma diameter approximately 10 cm). The waves are localized in a spatial wave packet that propagates into the plasma along a conical trajectory which makes a small angle with respect to the confining magnetic field. Measurements of the dependence of wavelength on frequency are in good agreement with the cold plasma dispersion relation. Measured values of the wave damping are in good agreement with Landau damping by the combination of the main body of the electron distribution and a approximately 30 percent high energy (T/sub e/ approximately 15-30 eV) electron tail.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) has been used as a radio-frequency (RF) heating and current drive actuator in tokamaks for over 40 years. However, despite being one of the first experimentally demonstrated sources of RF current drive, LHCD has never been consistently predicted by numerical simulation using coupled raytracing Fokker-Planck (FP) models. One frequently cited source of this discrepancy is the breakdown of the WKB approximation raytracing is based upon and "full-wave" effects such as diffraction and interference which raytracing cannot resolve. However, this claim has never been thoroughly investigated. In this work, we replace the raytracing model for wave propagation and damping in LHCD simulations with TORLH, a semi-spectral full-wave model that directly solves for the wave fields in order to assess the validity of raytracing. Using groundbreaking TORLH simulations, we demonstrate that in most modern tokamak core scenarios LHCD raytracing/FP calculations closely match full-wave/FP results. We found that previous discrepancies between raytracing and full-wave results in many cases can be attributed to improper controls and a lack of self-consistency in the full-wave/FP iteration. Our simulations of Alcator C-Mod, DIII-D, and the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), suggest full wave effects are unlikely to be of particular importance in reactor-like scenarios where the LH wave is single pass damped, or even in modern experiments where the lower-hybrid wave is weakly damped.

This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synergistic behavior of lower hybrid and ion Bernstein waves on the Princeton Beta Experiment-Modified tokamak [Phys. Fluids B 2, 1271 (1990)] is experimentally studied using a 2-D hard X-ray camera. The hard X-ray bremsstrahlung emission from suprathermal electrons, generated with lower hybrid current drive, is enhanced during ion Bernstein wave power injection. This enhancement is observed in limited regions of space suggesting the formation of localized current channels. The effects on plasma electrons during combined application of these two types of waves are theoretically investigated using a quasilinear model. The numerical code simultaneously solves the 3-D (R, Z, [Phi]) toroidal wave equation for the electric field (in the WKBJ approximation) and the Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function in two dimensions (v{sub parallel}, v{sub perpendicular}) with an added quasilinear diffusion coefficient. The radial profile of the non-inductively generated current density, the transmitted power traces and the total power damping curve are calculated. The beneficial effects of a combined utilization of ion Bernstein and lower hybrid waves on the current drive are emphasized. The numerical results are compared with the experimental observations.
