[en] The research we have accomplished during the past three year period includes the topics of ICRF fast wave coupling to L- and H-mode edge profiles and coupled full wave ICRF field solutions for CIT and TFTR supershots. We have also developed Quasi-linear Fokker-Planck codes to model nonlocal wave reflection, mode conversion, wave deposition and simulation of core sawtooth phenomena for large tokamaks such as JET. We have also examined coupling between launched fast waves and ion Bernstein waves driven by density gradients near the plasma edge and the effects of known edge turbulence and ponderomotive effects on the direct launching of ion Bernstein waves. We find that a TE₁₀ ICRF fast mode waveguide launcher only has a moderate increase in its reflection coefficient when coupling into a model H-mode plasma density profile. Our full wave 1-D ICRF code results have corrected earlier formulations by other authors and described a method for calculation of wave fields with an evanescent ion Bernstein mode. The results show that wave reflections, minority and majority absorption and mode conversion are sensitive to plasma and wave parameters and yield stronger minority and majority than a WKB formulation would yield. We have coupled the wave heating code to a Fokker-Planck code to model strong electron sawtooth phenomena occurring during minority hydrogen heating on JET. We find that fast ion tail formation and electron drag heating rather than direct electron heating or electron heating via mode conversion to ion Bernstein waves play an important role in core plasma sawtooth dynamics. We find that linear coupling from fast modes to ion Bernstein modes occurs due to larger density gradient scale lengths near the plasma edge. 8 refs., 1 tab
