Abstract
The rf-SciDAC collaboration is developing computer simulations to predict the damping of radio frequency (rf) waves in fusion plasmas. Here we extend self-consistent quasi-linear calculations of ion cyclotron resonant heating to include the finite drift of ions from magnetic flux surfaces and rf induced spatial transport. The all-orders spectral wave solver AORSA is iteratively coupled with a particle based update of the plasma distribution function using a quasi-linear diffusion tersor representative of the (k) over right arrow spectrum. Initial results are presented for a high power minority heating scenario on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak and a high harmonic beam heating scenario on DIII-D. Finite orbit effects are shown to give a less peaked perpendicular energy profile and rf induced transport.
