In the ITER equatorial ports containing ICRH antennas, parasitic electrical resonances can be excited in the nominal 20 mm clearance gap between the port walls and the plug contained within it. RF calculations have established that these resonances can be effectively mitigated by a series of suitably located electrically conducting contacts between…
An Eulerian code that solves the gyrokinetic Vlasov equation in slab geometry is presented. It takes into account the E X B and polarization drifts in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field, and kinetic effects in the parallel direction. The finite Larmor radius is modelled by a convolution operator. The relation is established between this …
