Description

A numerical model calculating the distribution of radio-frequency fields and absorption of their energy by sloshing ions is presented. the model solves time-harmonic Maxwell's equations written in terms of the electric field and accounts for fundamental and second harmonic ion cyclotron wave damping. It uses a 2D grid, Fourier series in the third scheme is demonstrated, and the convergence analysis is presented
