摘要
This paper describes the recent developments in the modeling of the ICRF heating process in the VASIMR plasma using the EMIR code. The latest upgrade of the EMIR model involves a calculation of the parallel electric field component with a warm plasma conductivity model and considers the Doppler shift effect. The code now gives a much more accurate and a more physical solution than in the previous version, but requires a more advanced solver. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
