Abstract

Simulations of Lower Hybrid (LH) coupling in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) will be presented. Due to the special requirements of the RFP configuration (tight-fitting conducting shell in which only minimal portholes are acceptable), an unusual interdigital line slow-wave antenna is used, mounted below the mid plane on the inboard side. A number of codes are used, including VORPAL, RANT3D/AORSA1D-H and MWS, each solving different equations and using different algorithms. Output from the different codes will be presented and compared to verify the simulation results.
