Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

We summarize recent progress toward developing a practical ray‐tracing algorithm that includes linear mode conversion, for realistic tokamak geometry. The goal of this code development project is to create new and easy‐to‐use numerical ray‐tracing tools for the study of RF heating and current drive. After a brief summmary of our recent results, a series of figures showing mode conversion in tokamak geometry is presented, emphasizing the effect of poloidal magnetic field.
