A two dimensional code ALTOK, which is designed for calculating plasma heating due to radio frequency fields in the Alfvén and in Ion Cyclotron Ranges of Frequencies in axisymmetric tokamaks, is used to analyze Alfvén wave absorption in multi species plasmas in TCABR (Tokamak Chauffage Alfvén Brasilien) [Nucl.Fusion 30, 503 (1996)]. A good agreement between the results obtained with ALTOK code calculations and with a two dimensional kinetic code [Phys. Plas., 6 (1999) 2437] is shown for Alfvén wave dissipation in hydrogen plasmas. The global Alfvén wave resonance of the m = 0 mode is found to be the best candidate to explain some heating regimes in TCABR.
