An Investigation of Full-Wave Effects on Lower-Hybrid Wave Propagation, Absorption, and Current Drive
Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) has been used as a radio-frequency (RF) heating and current drive actuator in tokamaks for over 40 years. However, despite being one of the first experimentally demonstrated sources of RF current drive, LHCD has never been consistently predicted by numerical simulat...
