    Neutronic Model of a Stellarator-Mirror Fusion-Fission Hybrid2013In: Fusion science and technology, ISSN 1536-1055, E-ISSN 1943-7641, Vol. 63, no 1T, p. 322-324Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The MCNPX numerical code has been used to model the neutron transport in a mirror based fusion-fission reactor. The purpose is to find a principal design of the fission mantle which fits to the neutron source and to calculate the leakage of neutrons through the mantle surface of the fission reactor. The fission reactor part has a cylindrical shape with an outer radius 1.66 m and a 4 m length. The fuel has the isotopic composition of the spent nuclear fuel from PWR after uranium-238 removal. Inside the fission reactor core is a vacuum chamber with a radius 0.5 m containing a 4 m long hot plasma producing fusion neutrons. To sustain the hot ion plasma which is responsible for the fusion neutron production, neutral beam injection is considered. Calculation results for the radial leakage of neutrons through the mantle surface of the fission reactor are presented. These calculations predict that the power released with neutrons from the reactor to outer space would be small and will not exceed the value of 6 kW while the reactor thermal power is 1 GWth.

    Static neutronic calculation of a subcritical transmutation stellarator-mirror fusion-fission hybrid2014In: Annals of Nuclear Energy, ISSN 0306-4549, E-ISSN 1873-2100, Vol. 72, p. 413-420Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The MCNPX Monte-Carlo code has been used to model the neutron transport in a sub-critical fast fission reactor driven by a fusion neutron source. A stellarator-mirror device is considered as the fusion neutron source. The principal composition for a fission blanket of a mirror fusion-fission hybrid is devised from the calculations. Heat load on the first wall, the distribution of the neutron fields in the reactor, the neutron spectrum and the distribution of energy release in the blanket are calculated. The possibility of tritium breeding inside the installation in quantities that meet the needs of the fusion neutron source is analyzed. The portion of the plasma column generates fusion neutrons that mainly do not reach the fission reactor core is proposed to be surrounded by a vessel filled with borated water to absorb the flying out neutrons. The flux of the neutrons escaping from the device to surrounding space is also calculated.

    Conformal mapping and efficient boundary element method without, boundary elements for fast vortex particle simulations2008In: European journal of mechanics. B, Fluids, ISSN 0997-7546, E-ISSN 1873-7390, Vol. 27, no 2, p. 150-176Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, a revitalization of conformal mapping methods applied to fluid flows in two dimensions is proposed. The present work addresses several important issues concerning their application for vortex particle flow solvers. Difficulties of past conformal based method are reviewed. One difficulty concerns the ability of a mapping procedure to represent complicated shapes. The present paper improves past algorithms to be able to map new shapes, including multiply connected domains. A new fast procedure allows transferring a set of points in the mapped simplified plane to the complicated domain and vice versa. After a mapping construction, it is demonstrated how basic exact solutions to potential flow problems with vortices can be put in a new form which provides a faster and more accurate computation than with distributed singularity methods.

    Numerical Simulation of a Farm of Vertical Axis Marine Current Turbines2010In: PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASME 29TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OCEAN, OFFSHORE AND ARCTIC ENGINEERING 2010, VOL 3, 2010, p. 335-344Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    For commercial applications of marine current turbines, it can be useful to build several turbines close to each other in a farm, similar to wind turbine parks. To create a good farm configuration, the turbines' mutual interaction needs to be studied. Here, to obtain detailed information, several turbines were simulated together using a 2D vortex method. To limit the computational cost, the vortex method was combined with known profile section data for the blades.

    First, a single turbine was compared against two turbines in close proximity. The two turbines were tested both with equal and opposite rotational direction, and the two blade pitch angles 0 and 3 degrees were tested. For both a single turbine and the two turbine case, a 3 degree pitch angle gave higher power coefficients than 0 degrees. The differences between 3 and 0 degrees were more significant for the single turbine. In all cases, the two turbine system had higher power coefficient per turbine than the single turbine.

    A five turbine park was simulated with three different combinations, one with all turbines on a row, and two with a zigzag pattern, where the difference was that the last simulation had larger turbines than the other two. For 0 degrees incident flow angle, the turbines on the row obtained the highest power coefficient, while the larger turbines in zigzag pattern obtained higher total power. The case with the turbines on the row was most insensitive to changes in flow direction, and for a 30 degree change, the row produced the highest total power as well. By locating the turbines inside a channel, all turbines obtained higher power coefficients, and the increase was largest for the large turbines, which blocked the channel to a larger extent.

    Simulations of a vertical axis turbine in a channel2014In: Renewable energy, ISSN 0960-1481, E-ISSN 1879-0682, Vol. 63, p. 477-485Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The power coefficient of a turbine increases according to the predictions from streamtube theory for sites with a confined fluid flow. Here, a vertical axis turbine (optimized for free flow) has been simulated by a two-dimensional vortex method, both in a channel and in free flow. The first part of the study concerns the numerical parameters of channel simulations. It is found that for free flow and wide channels, a large number of revolutions is required for convergence (around 100 at the optimal tip speed ratio and increasing with higher tip speed ratio), while for smaller channels, the required number of revolutions decreases. The second part analyses changes in turbine performance by the channel boundaries. The turbine performance increases when the channel width is decreased, although the results are below the predictions from streamtube theory, and this difference increases with decreasing channel width. It is also observed that the optimal tip speed ratio increases with decreasing channel width. By increasing the chord, which decreases the optimal tip speed ratio, the power coefficient can be increased somewhat.

    Vacuum Field Ellipticity Dependence on Radius in Quadrupolar Mirror Machines2012In: Journal of fusion energy, ISSN 0164-0313, E-ISSN 1572-9591, Vol. 31, no 5, p. 448-454Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The vacuum field flux tube ellipticity dependence on radius for quadrupolar mirror machines has been investigated. A third order expression in the paraxial approximation has been derived for the vacuum field ellipticity. The dependence of ellipticity on midplane radius has been examined in the SFLM Hybrid and the outermost plasma flux tube is 3.5 cm wider than predicted by the first order paraxial approximation, which is within boundaries set by the first wall. The third order approximation has a high accuracy for the ellipticity for long-thin mirrors such as the SFLM Hybrid, and even the first order approximation that is independent of radius is sufficient in many applications. The ellipticity dependence on midplane radius for mirrors with more strongly localized quadrupolar fields than the SFLM Hybrid is also shown to be minor.

    Coil System For a Mirror-Based Hybrid Reactor2012In: Fusion for Neutrons and Subcritical Nuclear Fission: Proceedings of the International Conference / [ed] Jan Källne, Dimitri Ryutov, Giuseppe Gorini, Carlo Sozzi, Marco Tardocchi, 2012, p. 217-223Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Two different superconducting coil systems for the SFLM Hybrid study - a quadrupolar mirror based fusion-fission reactor study - are presented. One coil system is for a magnetic field with 2 T at the midplane and a mirror ratio of four. This coil set consists of semi-planar coils in two layers. The alternative coil system is for a downscaled magnetic field of 1.25 T at the midplane and a mirror ratio of four, where a higher beta is required to achieve sufficient the neutron production. This coil set has one layer of twisted 3D coils. The 3D coils are expected to be considerably cheaper than the semiplanar, since NbTi superconductors can be used for most coils instead of Nb3Sn due to the lower magnetic field.

    A non-planar single layer semiconductor coil set for a version of the Straight Field Line Mirror Hybrid concept with reduced magnetic field has been computed. The coil set consists of 30 coils that are somewhat similar to baseball coils with skewed sides. The coil set has been modeled with filamentary current distributions and basic scaling assumptions have been made regarding the coil widths. This coil set is expected to be considerably cheaper than a previous computed coil set. The coils can probably be produced with technologies known today.

    Coil design for the straight field line mirror2009In: Fusion science and technology, ISSN 1536-1055, E-ISSN 1943-7641, Vol. 55, no 2T, p. 127-130Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Coil systems for producing the Straight Field Line Mirror field using axisymmetric and quadrupolar coils are calculated. Two applications are intended, a fusion-fission nuclear waste transmutation device and a small plasma deposition device. Position, size and current for the axisymmetric coils are optimized as well as radial profile and current for the quadrupolar coils for the two applications. Calculations show that such a coil system can produce the Straight Field Line Mirror field for long-thin mirrors with moderate mirror ratio, but some other coil configuration needs to be found for mirrors where the coils cannot reside close to the plasma edge. In this work, the material science experiment mirror can be produced with about 1% error but the fusion-fission device field has not at this moment been reproduced with acceptable errors.

    Abstract [en]

    A vacuum magnetic field from a superconducting coil set for a single cell minimum B fusion-fission mirror machine reactor is computed. The magnetic field is first optimized for MHD flute stability, ellipticity and field smoothness in a long-thin approximation. Recirculation regions and magnetic expanders are added to the mirror machine without an optimizing procedure. The optimized field is thereafter reproduced by a set of circular and quadrupolar coils. The coils are modelled using filamentary line current distributions. Basic scaling assumptions are implemented for the coil design, with a maximum allowed current density of 1.5 kA/cm2. The coils are optimized using a local optimization method and the resulting field is checked for MHD flute stability and maximum ellipticity.

    Radial Confinement in Non-Symmetric Quadrupolar Mirrors2013In: Journal of fusion energy, ISSN 0164-0313, E-ISSN 1572-9591, Vol. 32, no 3, p. 327-335Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Charged particles in symmetric quadrupolar mirrors are radially confined and have an associated radial invariant. In a symmetric quadrupolar field the magnetic field modulus satisfies B(z)=−B(z) along the axis if z = 0 defines the field minimum of the mirror, and the quadrupolar field has a corresponding symmetry. The field in the anchor cells of a tandem mirror need not obey a corresponding symmetry. In this paper, the radial confinement of non-symmetric mirrors is examined by tracing sample ions in the magnetic field. It is found that for non-symmetric mirrors, particles are typically not confined, and no radial invariant exists for such devices. Without attention to this effect in the field and coil design, radial confinement of trapped particles may be lost.

    Abstract [en]

    A vacuum magnetic field from a superconducting coil set for a single cell minimum-B mirror-based,fission-fusion reactor is computed. The magnetic field is optimized for MHD stability, ellipticity and field smoothness. A recirculation region and wide magnetic expanders on both sides are provided to the central mirror cell. A coil set producing this field is computed which consists of circular and quadrupolar coils. Basic scaling assumptions are made for the coil dimensions, based on a maximum allowed current density of 1.5 kA/cm(2) for superconducting coils. Sufficient space is available for a fission mantle. The field produced by the coils is checked for MHD plasma stability and maximum ellipticity. The resulting confinement region is 25 in long with a 40 cm midplane plasma radius.

    Abstract [en]

    The existence of closed magnetic surfaces in a model of the combined magnetic system is shown by numerical simulations. The numeric model contains a magnetic system of the l = 2 torsatron with the coils of an additional toroidal magnetic field and the mirror-type magnetic system. The mirror-type magnetic system is realized by switching off one of the coils of an additional toroidal magnetic field.

    Abstract [en]

    Fusion-fission (FuFi) hybrids will need instrumentation to diagnose the deuterium-tritium plasma, whose 14-MeV neutron emission is the driver of the sub-critical fission core. While the fission neutron yield rate (Y-fi and hence power P-fi) can be monitored with standard instrumentation, fusion plasmas in hybrids require special diagnostics where the determination of Y-th (proportional to P-fu) is a challenge. Information on Y-fu is essential for assessing the fusion plasma performance which together with Y-fi allows for the validation of the neutron multiplication factor (k) of the subcritical fission core. Diagnostics for hybrid plasmas are heuristically discussed with special reference to straight field line mirror (SFLM). Relevant DT plasma experience from JET and plans for ITER in the main line of fusion research were used as input. It is shown that essential SFLM plasma information can potentially be obtained with proposed instrumentation, but the state of the hybrid plasma must be predictably robust as derived from fully diagnosed dedicated experiments without interface restrictions of the hybrid application.

    An electrical approach to wave energy conversion2006In: Renewable energy, ISSN 0960-1481, E-ISSN 1879-0682, no 31, p. 1309-1319Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Motions in nature, for example ocean waves, can play a significant role in tomorrow's electricity production, but the constructions require adaptations to its media. Engineers planning hydropower plants have always taken natural conditions, such as fall height, speed of flow, and geometry, as basic design parameters and constraints in the design. The present paper describes a novel approach for electric power conversion of the vast ocean wave energy. The suggested linear electric energy converter is adapted to the natural wave motion using straightforward technology. Extensive simulations of the wave energy concept are presented, along with results from the experimental setup of a multisided permanent magnet linear generator. The prototype is designed through systematic electromagnetic field calculations. The experimental results are used for the verification of measurements in the design process of future full-scale direct wave energy converters. The present paper, describes the energy conversion concept from a system perspective, and also discusses the economical and some environmental considerations for the project.

    Stellarator-mirror fusion-fission hybrid - a fast route to clean and safe nuclear energy2023In: Journal of Plasma Physics, ISSN 0022-3778, E-ISSN 1469-7807, Vol. 89, no 4, article id 955890401Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The multiple-recycle fuel cycle for uranium-238 considered here, if practically realized, can bring revolutionary changes in nuclear energy. A full use of uranium-238 implies a practically infinite resource for power generation. Besides the energy, the fuel cycle net output is only fission products, which are co-products rather than waste. For the same amount of energy produced, the amount of fission products is two orders of magnitude less compared with the amount of spent nuclear fuel generated in currently exploited nuclear energy production scenarios. Using the simplest isotope balance model, key features of the multiple-recycle fuel cycle for uranium-238 are investigated. The repetition of this cycle results in smooth transformation of the initial fuel to 'stationary' fuel without strong variations in the fractional isotope content. Deficit of delayed neutrons is a threat of the fuel cycle considered as well as other fuel cycles that use plutonium. It has a dramatic impact on reactor controllability and safety. A solution to this threat could be a subcritical nuclear reactor with an external neutron source. In this paper, use of a stellarator-mirror (SM) fusion-fission hybrid for the multiple-recycle fuel cycle for uranium-238 is analysed. A summary of the experimental and theoretical studies on the SM hybrid is given. Preliminary results for principal design of a SM hybrid nuclear reactor for the multiple-recycle fuel cycle for uranium-238 are presented.

    Research on stellarator-mirror fission-fusion hybrid2014In: Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, ISSN 0741-3335, E-ISSN 1361-6587, Vol. 56, no 9, p. 094008-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The development of a stellarator-mirror fission-fusion hybrid concept is reviewed. The hybrid comprises of a fusion neutron source and a powerful sub-critical fast fission reactor core. The aim is the transmutation of spent nuclear fuel and safe fission energy production. In its fusion part, neutrons are generated in deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasma, confined magnetically in a stellarator-type system with an embedded magnetic mirror. Based on kinetic calculations, the energy balance for such a system is analyzed. Neutron calculations have been performed with the MCNPX code, and the principal design of the reactor part is developed. Neutron outflux at different outer parts of the reactor is calculated. Numerical simulations have been performed on the structure of a magnetic field in a model of the stellarator-mirror device, and that is achieved by switching off one or two coils of toroidal field in the Uragan-2M torsatron. The calculations predict the existence of closed magnetic surfaces under certain conditions. The confinement of fast particles in such a magnetic trap is analyzed.

    Fast ion motion in the plasma part of a stellarator-mirror fission-fusion hybrid2016In: Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, ISSN 0741-3335, E-ISSN 1361-6587, Vol. 58, no 6, article id 064005Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Recent developments of a stellarator-mirror (SM) fission-fusion hybrid concept are reviewed. The hybrid consists of a fusion neutron source and a powerful sub-critical fast fission reactor core. The aim is transmutation of spent nuclear fuel and safe fission energy production. In its fusion part, a stellarator-type system with an embedded magnetic mirror is used. The stellarator confines deuterium plasma with moderate temperature, 1-2 keV. In the magnetic mirror, a hot component of sloshing tritium ions is trapped. There, the fusion neutrons are generated. A candidate for a combined SM system is a DRACON magnetic trap. A basic idea behind an SM device is to maintain local neutron production in a mirror part, but at the same time eliminate the end losses by using a toroidal device. A possible drawback is that the stellarator part can introduce collision-free radial drift losses, which is the main topic for this study. For high energy ions of tritium with an energy of 70 keV, comparative computations of collisionless losses in the rectilinear part of a specific design of the DRACON type trap are carried out. Two versions of the trap are considered with different lengths of the rectilinear sections. Also the total number of current-carrying rings in the magnetic system is varied. The results predict that high energy ions from neutral beam injection can be satisfactorily confined in the mirror part during 0.1-1 s. The Uragan-2M experimental device is used to check key points of the SM concept. The magnetic configuration of a stellarator with an embedded magnetic mirror is arranged in this device by switching off one toroidal coil. The motion of particles magnetically trapped in the embedded mirror is analyzed numerically with use of motional invariants. It is found that without radial electric field particles quickly drift out of the SM, even if the particles initially are located on a nested magnetic surface. We will show that a weak radial electric field, which would be spontaneously created by the ambipolar radial particle losses, can make drift trajectories closed, which substantially improves particle confinement. It is remarkable that the improvement acts both for positive and negative charges.

    Curl-free positive definite form of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations well-suitable for iterative numerical solving2021In: Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, ISSN 0741-3335, E-ISSN 1361-6587, Vol. 63, no 12, article id 124007Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A new form of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations is developed on the base of the standard ones and proposed for numerical modeling. It is written for the magnetic field strength H, electric displacement D, vector potential A and the scalar potential phi. There are several attractive features of this form. The 1st one is that the differential operator acting on these quantities is positive. The 2nd is absence of curl operators among the leading order differential operators. The Laplacian stands for leading order operator in the equations for H, A and phi, while the gradient of divergence stands for D. The 3rd feature is absence of space varied coefficients in the leading order differential operators that provides diagonal domination of the resulting matrix of the discretized equations. A simple example is given to demonstrate the applicability of this new form of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations.

    Second harmonic cyclotron heating of sloshing ions in a straight field line mirror2007In: Fusion science and technology, ISSN 1536-1055, E-ISSN 1943-7641, Vol. 51, no 2T, p. 160-163Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The second harmonic heating in mirrors is explicated. A new coordinate-independent form of the second harmonic term in the plasma dielectric response is derived. The second harmonic heating in the WKB limit is addressed and compared with minority heating. A newly developed three-dimensional model for the time-harmonic boundary problem for Maxwell's equations is used for second harmonic heating modeling in the reactor-scale straight field line mirror device. Computations show that the antenna Q is low and the regime of global resonance overlapping is in effect. Only a small portion of the wave energy transits through the cyclotron layer and penetrates to the central part of the trap. The power deposition is peaked at the plasma core.

    Stellarator-Mirror Hybrid with Neutral Beam Injection2013In: Fusion science and technology, ISSN 1536-1055, E-ISSN 1943-7641, Vol. 63, no 1T, p. 119-122Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A stellarator-mirror fusion-fission hybrid has recently been proposed. Neutral beam injection (NBI) is here studied numerically for this hybrid using a two-dimensional kinetic code, KNBIM The code accounts for Coulomb collisions between the hot ions and the background plasma. The geometry of the confining magnetic field is arbitrary for the code and is accounted for via a numerical bounce averaging procedure. Along with the kinetic calculations the neutron production intensity is computed. The calculated hot ion distribution function from NBI is used in power balance estimates for the whole system. The requirement that the fast neutrals should be efficiently captured in the plasma is imposed to restrict the range of plasma parameters. The results of the power balance calculations are close to results obtained previously with a bi-Maxwellian ion distribution function. The calculated parameters for a power producing stellarator mirror device are within modern top technical capabilities. The parameters of plasma and NBI characteristics seem also attainable. The calculated fusion Q is within a range with potential for energy production in a hybrid reactor.

    Fast wave heating in a mirror during plasma build-up2010In: European Physical Journal D: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, ISSN 1434-6060, E-ISSN 1434-6079, Vol. 56, no 3, p. 359-367Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A heating method for partially ionized plasma has been described in reference [V.E. Moiseenko, Sov. J. Plasma Phys. 12, 427 (1986)]. It exploits the collisional damping of fast waves that is large owing to the high rate of charge exchange collisions. Since the time of heating is limited by the duration of neutral gas ionization, the heating needs to be strong enough to achieve a high final ion temperature. This heating method has been studied numerically in the framework of MHD-like (magneto-hydrodynamic) equations in inhomogeneous cylindrical plasma. The influences of the ratio of the mean free path of the neutral atoms to the plasma radius, the initial ion concentration, the characteristics of the interaction of the neutral atoms with the chamber wall and other parameters on the plasma heating dynamics are examined. A scenario for RF plasma heating in one central cell of the multi-mirror device GOL3 (Novosibirsk, Russia) is developed, in which the final ion temperature exceeds the ion oscillation energy in the RF field by one order of magnitude. The energy efficiency is high; only a small portion of the power is transferred by the neutral atoms to the chamber wall.

    Multiple recycle fuel cycle for spent nuclear fuel components incineration in fusion-fission hybrid2022In: Problems of Atomic Science and Technology, ISSN 1562-6016, no 6, p. 40-43Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A multiple recycle fuel cycle (MRFC) is analyzed using a simple numerical model. A straightforward approach to MRFC has some unfavorable features like strong variation of the neutron multiplication factor and accumulation of americium isotopes which would likely hamper its practical usage. A solution proposed here is addition of 238U both to initial fuel and the recycled fuel.

    Stellarator-Mirror Based Fusion Driven Fission Reactor2010In: Journal of fusion energy, ISSN 0164-0313, E-ISSN 1572-9591, Vol. 29, no 1, p. 65-69Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The version of fusion driven system (FDS), a sub-critical fast fission assembly with a fusion plasma neutron source, theoretically investigated here is based on a stellarator with a small mirror part. In the magnetic well of the mirror part, fusion reactions occur from collision of an RF heated hot ion component (tritium), with high perpendicular energy with cold background plasma ions. The hot ions are assumed to be trapped in the magnetic mirror part. The stellarator part which connects to the mirror part provides confinement for the bulk (deuterium) plasma. Calculations based on a power balance analysis indicate the possibility to achieve a net electric power output with a compact FDS device. For representative thermal power output of a power plant (P th ≈ P fis = 0.5–2 GW) the computed electric Q-factor is in the range Q el = 8–14, which indicates high efficiency of the FDS scheme.

    A numerical model for radiofrequency heating of sloshing ions in a mirror trap2006In: Journal of Plasma Physics, ISSN 0022-3778, E-ISSN 1469-7807, Vol. 72, no 6, p. 1133-1137Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A newly developed numerical model calculating the distribution and damping of radiofrequency fields by sloshing ions is presented. The model solves time-harmonic Maxwell's equations written in terms of the electric field. It uses a two-dimensional grid and a Fourier series in the third coordinate and is based on a non-staggered mesh not aligned along the steady magnetic field. The numerical stability of the scheme is discussed, and the convergence analysis is presented.

    Second harmonic ion cyclotron heating of sloshing ions in a straight field line mirror2007In: Physics of Plasmas, ISSN 1070-664X, E-ISSN 1089-7674, Vol. 14, no 2, p. 022503-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A qualitative analysis of second harmonic heating is carried out, in which a fast magnetosonic wave is launched from a location near the magnetic mirror (where the magnetic field is stronger than the second harmonic resonance field) and directed to the midplane of the open trap. The analysis shows that there is no "magnetic beach" heating in contrast to the case with minority heating on the fundamental harmonic. Conversion to the ion Bernstein wave would distort the heating pattern, and the condition for this conversion is estimated. The scenario of second harmonic heavy ion heating is examined numerically. In the scenario chosen, the regime of global resonance overlapping is achieved that provides good heating performance. The computations show that the power deposition is core, the amount of deposited power does not depend sensitively on the parameters of the discharge, and the range of plasma beta at which the heating is efficient is not narrow. The estimated antenna Q is noticeably low and, therefore, the antenna performance is high.
