Broadening of electron cyclotron power deposition and driven current profiles caused by dissipative diffractive propagation

K. Yanagihara, S. Kubo2024年6月Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

Improvements in electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and current drive (ECCD) predictions are important issues for the design and control of high-performance fusion plasmas in future devices, where these should play a more important role as actuators than in devices to date. A newly developed EC-prediction package based on the quasioptical ray tracing code PARADE revealed in JT-60SA that (i) the radial profiles of both EC power deposition and driven current are broadened and (ii) the net driven current is increased by a few kA/MW, in comparison with conventional predictions due to dissipative diffractive propagation (DDP). The mechanism of DDP is as follows: EC wave beam obliquely passing through the resonant surface is dissipated non-uniformly on its beam cross section, so that the beam trajectory shifts gradually and thus the resonant position also shifts, resulting in the broadened power deposition profile. This novel ECCD and ECRH prediction package based on PARADE is applicable not only to JT-60SA but other existing devices and even, future devices.

This paper discusses improvements in predicting the power deposition and current drive from electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and current drive (ECCD) in fusion plasmas. The authors found that dissipative diffractive propagation (DDP) of the EC waves leads to broader power deposition and current drive profiles, as well as increased net driven current, compared to conventional predictions. This is due to the non-uniform dissipation of the obliquely passing EC wave beam, causing the beam trajectory and resonant position to shift gradually.
