TL;DR: In this paper, the Toric code was modified to simulate fast and slow wave fields in the lower hybrid range of frequencies (LHRF) by implementing boundary conditions appropriate for coupling the fast electromagnetic and the slow electrostatic waves in the LHRF.

TL;DR: In a magnetized plasma, such as in fusion devices or the Earth's magnetosphere, several different kinds of waves can simultaneously exist, having very different physical properties as discussed by the authors, and under the right conditions one wave can quite suddenly convert to another type.

TL;DR: The TORIC simulation code has been extended to allow the prescription of arbitrary velocity distributions of the form ƒ (ν||, ν⊥, Ψ, θ) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the full wave lower hybrid code, TORLH (TORIC code modified for LH simulations), with non-Maxwellian electrons and the Ehst-Karney parameterized adjoint model for current drive, to predict the variation with n − of the current drive deposition location in the plasma for a reference target plasma.
