Wave-induced flows are calculated from high-resolution electromagnetic fiel
d calculations with either a compressible Reynolds stress or a second-order
kinetic pressure model for the radio frequency forces. Results show that e
lectron Landau damping and magnetic pumping, by themselves, do not lead to
significant poloidal flow as long as there is Little net input of momentum
by the wave. But ion-cyclotron damping of either fast magnetosonic waves or
ion-Bernstein waves can drive significant poloidal flows at power levels t
ypical of plasma-heating experiments. [S0031-9007(99)08584-1].
