The spectral approach to ray tracing, which makes explicit use of the decomposition of the hf fields in toroidal modes allowed by axisymmetry, is instrumental to cope with electrically short antennas whose radiation pattern is dominated by diffraction, and to allow a plausible evaluation of Landau and cyclotron damping, and of wave behaviour near conversion layers.</p><p>Numerical methods and structure of ray tracing briefly discussed, and a few examples are presented, obtained with the RAYLH and RAYIC codes developed by the author. The rapidly growing number of applications of ray tracing in the literature is also briefly summarised; it is the best proof that this approximate method, if its possibilities and limits are properly understood, can give precious insight into the physics of hf heating of tokamak plasmas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100318,"journal":{"name":"Computer Physics Reports","volume":"4 3","pages":"Pages 71-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0167-7977(86)90026-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72277801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
