Study of Numerical Simulation of RF Wave in Magnetized Plasma

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wave heating is an important way to implement the controlled fusion. The propagation and absorbability of wave in the plasma are described by the two-fluid equations and Maxwell’s equations. A numerical algorithm based on the FDTD method and the MacCormack scheme is designed. The numerical simulation based on parallel computing is carried out to verify the validity of the algorithm and simulation.
