    Notes: General expressions for time- and surface-averaged radio frequency forces, affecting ions in closed toroidal devices, are obtained in this paper. Toroidal effects are included in these forces. These effects can, for example, be important to calculate Alfvén or fast wave forces in stellarators, spheromaks, or for toroidicity induced Alfvén wave eigenmodes (TAE) in axially symmetric tokamaks. The further simplification of obtained expressions should be fulfilled for the proper kind of rf waves and toroidal devices. It is hoped that these rf force expressions can, for example, be useful for the computer simulations of the transport barrier formation by Alfvén and fast waves in toroidal devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the Phaedrus-T tokamak [R. Majeski et al., Phys Fluids B 5, 2506 (1993)], Alfvén waves are indirectly driven by a fast wave antenna array. Small fractions of minority ions can couple Alfvén and ion–ion hybrid waves and have a large effect on the wave numbers accessible for a given launched frequency. A discrete spectrum and toroidal damping for these modes has been identified by measuring dispersion properties at the edge. Landau damping is predicted to be large and spatially localized and to be responsible for the experimentally observed electron heating (T. Intrator et al., "Alfvén ion–ion hybrid wave heating in the Phaedrus-T tokamak,'' to appear in Phys. Plasmas) and current drive near the core of the tokamak plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper, general aspects of the Alfvén and fast wave nonresonant and resonant current-drive problem are considered both for collisional and weakly collisional plasmas. The magnetohydrodynamic approach is used for all collisional regimes and Landau damping is taken into account in the weakly collisional plasma case. Averaged in time and over magnetic surface, the general form of current-drive forces are derived, including the viscosity and collision frequency perturbation terms. As an example, a weakly collisional plasma cylinder case is discussed and some disagreements on this problem between different authors results are eliminated. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper, the effects of light impurities, such as deuterium, helium, or carbon, on Alfvén wave dispersion characteristics are explored. It is shown that a small population of light impurities in a hydrogen plasma modify the dispersion of the global Alfvén waves and the Alfvén continuum in such a way that the wave frequency depends weakly on the toroidal wave number. It is also shown that the global Alfvén wave enters into the Alfvén continuum. Under these conditions, it is possible to heat plasma efficiently by employing an antenna with a broad toroidal wavelength spectrum. The relationship between impurity concentration and the efficiency of Alfvén wave heating is explored. Under appropriate conditions, the results indicate that in the presence of impurities, Alfvén waves can heat electrons predominantly in the central part of the plasma. This effect is explored via a series of numerical calculations of the heating specifically for the Phaedrus-T Alfvén wave heating experiment [Phys. Fluids B 5, 2506 (1993)].

    Notes: The solution of the Vlasov equation with a simplified Fokker–Planck collision operator is presented for axially symmetric tokamak plasmas with a circular cross section of magnetic surfaces. The analytical expression for the parallel component of the dielectric permittivity tensor of trapped particles is obtained. This expression is used for theoretical analyses of the collision effect on the bounce-resonance wave dissipation. Conditions for a collisionless description of radio-frequency (rf) oscillations are found. This dielectric tensor components can be used for computer calculations of the rf field structure and the rf dissipated power related to trapped electrons in tokamak plasmas. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of radio frequency fields on a plasma rotation in the edge (collisional) region of slightly rippled tokamaks is considered. The expressions for poloidal and toroidal velocities and for quasistationary radial electric fields are obtained as a function of absorbed rf power. The estimations of these quantities for the Phaedrus-T tokamak [N. Hershkovitz et al., 15th International Atomic Energy Agency Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, Seville, 1994 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, in press)] are also presented. It is shown that Alfvén waves can strongly modify the rotation velocities and radial electric fields in collisional regions of tokamak plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of the kinetic Alfvén waves on weakly collisional plasma rotation in tokamaks has been studied for the plateau and banana regimes. The quasistationary rotation velocities and radial electric field have been found. The estimation of these quantities for the Phaedrus-T tokamak [S. Wukitch et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 294 (1996)] and for the Joint European Torus (JET) [A. Fasoli et al., Nucl. Fusion, 36, 258 (1996)] has been presented. It is shown that the kinetic Alfvén waves, which are needed for current drive, change weakly the quasistationary rotation velocities and radial electric field, as found from the experimental data of these tokamaks. In conditions with increased rf power, the plasma rotation and radial electric field can essentially grow up. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, an attempt is made to clarify some general aspects of the Alfvén current drive problem for magnetic traps. For large aspect ratio tokamaks, with an elongated cross-section, some general formulas concerning the untrapped particles dynamics and their input to the Landau damping of the Alfvén waves are presented. They are supposed to be used for the further development of the Alfvén current drive theory for tokamaks.

    Notes: Abstract The asymptotic solution of the Vlasov equation under the drift approximation, for an axially symmetric toroidal plasma configuration with an elliptic cross section of magnetic surfaces, is presented. The analytical expressions for the parallel component of the dielectric permittivity tensor are obtained. These expressions are used for theoretical analyses of the trapped and untrapped electron influence on the collisionless wave dissipation. The evaluated dielectric tensor components can be used for computer calculations of the radio frequency field structure and the collisionless dissipated power related to trapped and untrapped electrons in tokamak plasmas.

    Notes: Abstract The asymptotic solution of Vlasov's equation in the drift approximation for a toroidal plasma geometry with circular magnetic surfaces is presented. The method of solution introduces Jacobi functions as variables, making it possible to obtain results in a relatively simple manner. The analytic evaluation of the parallel components of the dielectric permittivity tensorε 3j is shown and the resulting strong influence of the bounce resonance of untrapped electrons on the wave dissipation is discussed. Additionally, a numerical calculation ofε 33, together with a comparison between the toroidal and the cylindrical (Landau damping) results, are presented.
