【 摘 要 】

Powerful gyrotrons of the megawatt class will be used for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and current drive (ECCD) of magnetically confined plasma in the thermonuclear reactor ITER. For computer-aided design (CAD), analysis and optimization of their performance numerical experiments based on adequate physical models are used. In this paper, we outline and illustrate the current status of both the available software tools for numerical simulation of such gyrotrons, as well as the novel computer codes of the problem oriented GYREOSS software package which is under development now.
