摘要

Detailed computational studies of electrostatic electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) propagation in the WEGA stellarator are performed and compared with experimental results. Using the WEGA antenna, the two O-/X-mode radiation lobes are modelled by sets of rays whose intensities are proportional to the measured radiation pattern. After projecting these rays onto the plasma periphery, the O–X-EBW mode conversion efficiency around the upper hybrid resonance is determined from a full wave adaptive mesh solver of the cold plasma equations. From the roots of the electrostatic EBW dispersion re lation,ray tracing is performed to determine the power absorption on the first or second cyclotron harmonic as well as current drive assuming the Fisch–Boozer mechanism. Good agreement is achieved between our EBW simulations on specific WEGA equilibria and the experimental results from the antenna launch of 2.45 GHzwaves. The experimentally observed off-axis power deposition and the outward shift dependence of the absorption maxima on increasing magnetic field can only be explained by the existence of a hot electron component in the WEGA plasma. It is this hot electron component that permits wave absorption at the second harmonic near the plasma boundary. Moreover, the simulations not only reproduce the current density reversal at the plasma centre for low magnetic fields but also the destruction of this current density reversal for larger magnetic fields.
