The finite element library PDE-PROTRAN is applied for the numerical solution of a quasilinear two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation to study the cross-effect of electron cyclotron heating and lower-hybrid current drive in tokamak plasmas. Results show that the current drive efficiency of EC waves i

β¦ Synopsis
A lower hybrid current drive model which takes into account a dc electric field has been developed. The model is based on the Fokker-Planck equation, plasma circuit equation and power balance equations. Simulation results qualitatively agree well with those of the experiments.

Using the IMSL package TWODEPEP, the full non-relativistic Fokker-Planck equation is solved numerically for the runaway electron distribution function in the presence of a dc electric field. A set of partial integro-differential equations derived from a Legendre expansion of the Fokker-Planck equati
The electric field effect on the UV decomposition of ketene was studied. The ratio of the main products [&H.,] / [C2Hs] which is proportional to [ CH2( 'A, ) ] / [CH2 ('B, ) ] 2 was measured as a function of pressure and as a function ofthe electric field strength in the range O-5 kV/cm.

We present a numerical study based on a Monte Carlo algorithm of the magnetic properties of a mixed Ising ferrimagnetic model on a cubic lattice where spins s AE1=2 and spins S 0; AE1 are in alternating sites on the lattice. We carried out exact ground state calculations and employ a Monte Carlo sim
It is argued that under the conditions of current experimental interest, one role of a weak electrical dc field on the dynamics of a high Rydberg molecular electron is to stretch the time axis. The stretch factor is essentially independent of the field and provides a classical analog of the quantum
