ECCD MODELS WITH PARALLEL MOMENTUM CONSERVATION, FINITE COLLISIONALITY, AND HIGH Te
The recent progress in electron cyclotron current drive calculations with the adjoint technique is reviewed. The main attention is focused on such points as parallel momentum conservation in the like-particle collisions and finite collisionality effects. For high-temperature plasmas with significant relativistic effects, the effectiveness and accuracy of the developed numerical models are demonstrated by ray-tracing calculations.
