Advanced Lower Hybrid Current Drive Modeling

  • 1. Association Euratom--CEA, CEA/DSM/DRFC CEA-Cadarache, 13108 St Paul-lez-Durance (France)

Description

The Lower Hybrid current drive (LHCD) modeling is revisited in the light of the recently proposed scheme involving only few rays [l]. Besides the strong reduction of the computational effort, this approach allows to recover a physical meaning for the spectral width associated with each ray, while the quasilinear selfconsistency may be fully achieved. Three examples are presented for ITER, C-MOD and Tore Supra tokamaks to illustrate the effectiveness of the method, which cover most of the LHCD regimes found in this type of machines
