CURRAY
- Abstract
- CURRAY is a ray tracing code that is used primarily
for modeling radio frequency heating and current drive
in the ICRF and LH frequency regimes for tokamaks.
This package has its origin in RAYLH/RAYIC, a ray code
written by Marco Brambilla in the early '80s, that
was subsequently ported to General Atomics by Bob Harvey
to study LH heating in conjunction with the CQL3D Fokker
Planck code. In the early '90s, T.K. Mau (then at UCLA)
and S.C. Chiu of General Atomics modified the original
code considerably to include a fast branch to model
and predict fast magnetosonic wave heating and current
drive in experiments (DIII-D) and conceptual power
plant designs (ARIES). This latest development led
to the code officially re-named CURRAY to stand for
'current drive modeling with ray tracing'. In the mid
'90s, a current-drive efficiency calculation package
based on the adjoint technique and written originally
by Charles Karney, was added to CURRAY thus greatly
extending the applicablity of the code to tokamaks
of all aspect ratios.
