Raytracing/Fokker-Planck (FP) simulations used to model lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) often fail to reproduce experimental results, particularly when LHCD is weakly damped. A proposed reason for this discrepancy is the lack of…

The scattering of lower hybrid (LH) waves due to scrape-off layer (SOL) filaments is investigated. It is revealed that scattering can account for the LH spectral gap without any ad hoc modification to the wave-spectrum. This is shown using…

A theoretical study of the improvement of the Electron Cyclotron Current Drive (ECCD) efficiency in regimes where most of the current is driven by Lower Hybrid (LH) waves is presented. A perturbation technique is employed to solve the…

A new synergy mechanism between Ohkawa current drive (OKCD) of electron cyclotron (EC) waves and lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) is discovered and discussed. And the methodology to achieve this synergy effect is also introduced.…

The interaction of radio-frequency (RF) waves with edge turbulence modifies the incident wave-spectrum, and can significantly affect RF heating and current drive in tokamaks. Previous LH scattering models have either used the…

Although lower hybrid waves are effective at driving currents in present-day tokamaks, they are expected to interact strongly with high-energy particles in extrapolating to reactors. In the presence of a radial alpha particle birth…

Although lower hybrid waves have been shown to be effective in driving plasma current in present-day tokamaks, they are predicted to strongly interact with the energetic alpha particles born from fusion reactions in eventual tokamak…

This paper evaluates the feasibility of helicon current drive (HCD) in a hybrid scenario for the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). Utilizing the GENRAY/CQL3D package, a large number of simulations (over 5 000) were conducted,…

The plasmon hybridization theory is based on a quasi-electrostatic approximation of the Maxwell's equations. It does not take into account magnetic interactions, retardation effects, and radiation losses. Magnetic interactions play a…

A linear model of synergetic current drive (SCD) with lower-hybrid wave (LHW) and electron cyclotron wave (ECW) is proposed to efficiently calculate the quantitative SCD efficiency and reveal the conditions for the occurrence of SCD. In…

Exciting high-power resonators pose challenges such as managing power reflections, which can cause energy losses and damage system components. This is crucial for applications like Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) systems in tokamaks,…

Over the last decades, realistic 3D radiative-MHD simulations have become the dominant theoretical tool for understanding the complex interactions between the plasma and the magnetic field on the Sun. Most of such simulations are based on…

A full-F, isothermal, electromagnetic, gyro-fluid model is used to simulate plasma turbulence in a COMPASS-sized, diverted tokamak. A parameter scan covering three orders of magnitude of plasma resistivity and two values for the ion to…

Treatments of plasma waves usually assume homogeneity, but the parallel gradients ubiquitous in plasmas can modify wave propagation and absorption. We derive a quasilocal inhomogeneous correction to the plasma dielectric for arbitrary…

Global particle simulations of the lower hybrid waves have been carried out using fully kinetic ions and drift kinetic electrons with a realistic electron-to-ion mass ratio. The lower hybrid wave frequency, mode structure, and electron…
