Recent ICRF coupling experiments on EAST

Recent ion cyclotron resonance frequency(ICRF) coupling experiments for optimizing ICRF heating in high power discharge were performed on EAST. The coupling experiments were focus on antenna phasing and gas puffing, which were performed separately on two ports of the ion cyclotron resonance heating(ICRH) system of EAST. The antenna phasing was performed on the I-port antenna, which consists of four toroidally spaced radiating straps operating in multiple phasing cases; the coupling performance was better under low wave number ∣k_‖∣(ranging from 4.5 to 6.5). By fuelling the plasma from gas injectors, placed as uniformly spaced array from top to bottom at each side limiter of the B-port antenna, which works in dipole phasing, the coupling resistance of the B-port antenna increased obviously.Furthermore, the coupling resistance of the I-port antenna was insensitive to a smaller rate of gas puffing but when the gas injection rate was more than a certain value(1021 s~(-1)), a sharp increase in the coupling resistance of the I-port antenna occurred, which was mainly caused by the toroidal asymmetric boundary density arising from gas puffing. A more specific analysis is given in the paper.     

Thermal analysis and optimization of the EAST ICRH antenna

The ion cyclotron resonance of frequency heating(ICRH) plays an important role in plasma heating.Two ICRH antennas were designed and applied on the EAST tokamak.In order to meet the requirement imposed by high-power and long-pulse operation of EAST in the future,an active cooling system is mandatory to be designed to remove the heat load deposited on the components.Thermal analyses for high heat-load components have been carried out,which presented clear temperature distribution on each component and provided the reference data to do the optimization.Meanwhile,heat pipes were designed to satisfy the high requirement imposed by a Faraday shield and lateral limiter.

川东嘉二~2层粒屑滩成滩方式及气藏分布规律

川东嘉陵江组嘉二2层沉积环境是局限海台地蒸发相,沉积水体浅,水动力能量弱,其粒屑滩的成滩方式主要有两种,一是局限潮下变浅成滩,形成铁山、复兴场等气藏;二是潮坪膏盆边缘成滩,形成黄草峡、麦南等气藏。嘉一至嘉二期,川东地区继承了飞仙关末期的沉积构造格局,呈现北低南高的沉积环境(只是地势更加平缓),因而在川东地区的中北部,一般为局限潮下变浅成滩;而在川东中部及南部,则形成膏盆边缘滩。     

A Ray-Tracing Analysis of ICRH in Tokamaks

Power deposition profiles generated by Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating （ICRH） in non-circular tokamaks are studied using a ray-tracing technique. The simulation results for the Experimental Advanced Superconductor Tokamak （EAST） D-shaped plasma are presented. It is indicated that the spatial distributions of plasma parameters （plasma density, species temperature, minority ion concentration, etc.） have an significant influence on the power deposition profiles. The findings may be highly useful to the planned plasma heating and experiments in EAST.

To avoid perturbation, a DC break was designed. The S parameter and the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of incident port were calculated; the thermal effect caused by conductor loss and dielectric loss was analyzed.     

High Power RF Transmitters for ICRF Applications on EAST

An Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency (ICRF) system with a radio frequency (RF) power of 4×1.5 MW was developed for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST).High RF power transmitters were designed as a part of the research and development (R&D) for an ICRF system with long pulse operation at megawatt levels in a frequency range of 25 MHz to 70 MHz.Studies presented in this paper cover the following parts of the high power transmitter:the three staged high power amplifier,which is composed of a 5kW wideband solid state amplifier,a 100kW tetrode drive stage amplifier and a 1.5MW tetrode final stage amplifier,and the DC high voltage power supply (HVPS).Based on engineering design and static examinations,the RF transmitters were tested using a matched dummy load where an RF output power of 1.5MW was achieved.The transmitters provide 6MW RF power in primary phase and will reach a level up to 12MW after a later upgrade.The transmitters performed successfully in stable operations in EAST and HT-7 devices.Up to 1.8MW of RF power was injected into plasmas in EAST ICRF heating experiments during the 2010 autumn campaign and plasma performance was greatly improved.

Reference Design of ICRF Antenna for EAST

An antenna array suitable for plasma heating and current drive has been designed for the ion cyclotron resonance frequency range （ICRF） heating on the EAST superconducting tokamak. The ICRF heating is planned to operate in a frequency range of 30 MHz to 80 MHz and hence the antenna geometry is optimized for 55 MHz. The design is based on the conventional strap antenna element. The coupling properties of the antenna are calculated with a slab model of the plasma for the antenna simulation. The coupling code is extended for the analysis of the toroidal antenna array separated by septa.
