abstract = {By injecting radio-frequency traveling waves into a
tokamak, continuous toroidal electron currents may be
generated. This process is studied by numerically
solving the two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation
with an added quasi-linear term. The results are
compared with the one-dimensional analytic treatment
of Fisch, which predicted a reduced plasma resistivity
when high-phase-velocity waves are employed. It is
shown that two-dimensional velocity space effects,
while retaining the predicted scaling, further reduce
the ratio of power dissipated to current generated by
about 40\%. These effects enhance the attractiveness
of steady-state tokamak reactors utilizing this method
of current generation.}
