Transport model of plasma heating at the second harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency

The optical thickness of the plasma is often insufficient to fully absorb the microwaves during heating at the second harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency. An analysis of the experiments to the T-10 tokamak allows us to find the criteria for the full absorption, and to construct a canonical profile transport model for the full and partial absorptions of microwaves. The conditions to the equivalence of discharges in different tokamaks, and in a pair of tokamaks with the optimized W7-X stellarator are formulated. For equivalent discharges, calculations to the T-15MD tokamak under construction with the obtained model coincide with measurements of electron and ion temperatures in the W7-X over a wide range of plasma densities. The validated model is used to analyze future shots of T-15MD.
