摘要：

揭示了电子回旋波与低杂波协同驱动的净增协同电流与波注入功率之间所呈现的非线性关系。结果发现，当低杂波功率较低时，净增电流将随回旋波功率增大而减小甚至于变成负值，本文将此现象定义为双波驱动的负效应，并首次对其进行了相关的物理研究。研究表明，回旋波引起低杂波功率沉积剖面峰化和捕获电子效应是导致负效应的两个主要原因。目前的研究有助于深入理解双波驱动物理以及设计相关实验，并为相关的实验设计提供依据。

Abstract:

The synergy current drive by combining electron cyclotron wave (ECW) with lower hybrid wave (LHW) can be used to either increase the noninductive current drive efficiency or shape the plasma current profile. In this paper, the synergy current drive by ECW and LHW is studied with numerical simulation. The nonlinear relationship between the wave powers and the synergy current of ECW and LHW is revealed. When the LHW power is small, the synergy current reduces as the ECW power increases, and the synergy current is even reduced to lower than zero, which is referred as negative synergy in the this context. Research shows that the mechanism of the negative synergy is the peaking effect of LHW power profile and the trapped electrons effect. The present research is helpful for understanding the physics of synergy between electron cyclotron current drive and lower hybrid current drive, it can also instruct the design of experiments.
