Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating Induced Transport in Stellarators and Other Asymmetric Toroids
Abstract
dc:descriptionA Monte Carlo simulation is developed to model minority ion transport and fundamental ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) in asymmetric magnetic field geometries. A discrete event model is used to superimpose resonance heated nonadiabatic changes in an ion's magnetic moment on a Coulomb scattering model that contains the Spitzer coefficients of drag, velocity diffusion, and pitch angle scattering (PAS). Ion drift orbit equations of motion are set in a magnetic flux coordinate system which separate fast motion along the field lines from slow motion across the lines.
