TORAY
- Abstract
- The TORAY ray tracing code computes contributions to
electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and RF current-drive
(ECCD) sources. Plasma heating and non-inductive current
generation by injection of electromagnetic waves in
the electron cyclotron frequency range (ECH and ECCD)
has been considered an important tool in fusion research.
Version 1.60 of the TORAY ECH/ECCD code is written
in Fortan 90 and no longer requires any preprocessing
to handle precision issues. TORAY now includes the
recently developed ECCD module by Y.R. Lin-Liu which
includes an adjoint formulation with collisionality
correction factors that reduce the trapped electron
fraction and increase the current drive efficiency.
Other revisions include improving the power integration
along the arc length, the addition of an aspect ratio
dependence in the J/P current drive efficiency, and
an improved evaluation of the poloidal angle used to
calculate the local value of the major radius.
