Abstract

The effect of a steady azimuthal magnetic field on rotating magnetic field current drive is studied. The configuration considered consists of an infinitely long plasma column with a finite radius conductor, which carries a steady longitudinal current, running along its axis. The ions are assumed to be fixed and the electrons are described using an Ohm’s law that contains the Hall term. A fully two-dimensional computer code is developed to solve the resulting time-dependent equations. For some values of the steady azimuthal field, two steady-state solutions with different efficiencies are found.
