Abstract
A brief review of the theory contributions presented in the EC-18 Workshop is given. The covered spectrum of topics is quite broad including the electron cyclotron wave propagation physics as well the results of numerical modelling of transport and current drive.
Highlights
1 Introduction From a total of thirteen theoretical contributions, presented in EC-18 Workshop, eleven reports were presented in the Theory session and two reports were formally included in the ECE session
The topics covered in the presentations are the following: propagation of EC waves in plasmas with density fluctuations (3 papers), Spitzer problem and current drive (4 papers), radiative transport and ECE diagnostic (3 papers), ITER design (2 paper) and W7-X scenarios (1 paper)
The Wigner transform and Weyl symbol calculus were applied to the relevant integro-differential equation for the wave electric field, obtaining a kinetic radiative transfer model which is general enough to account for both diffraction and scattering effects
Summary
