TL;DR: In this article, the energy deposition profile of the shear Alfven wave in a cylindrical Tokamak is obtained, and the radial propagation and the absorption are solved by use of the kinetic equations for collisionless inhomogeneous plasmas.
Abstract: The energy deposition profile of the shear Alfven wave in a cylindrical Tokamak is obtained. The radial propagation and the absorption are solved by use of the kinetic equations for collisionless inhomogeneous plasmas. The absorption is mainly by electron Landau damping, and occurs not only at the resonance surface, k/sub ///(r)vA(r)= omega , but also in the propagation region, mod r/sub ///(r) mod VA(r)>or approximately= omega
