Numerically stable method for kinetic electrons in gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulation of toroidal plasmas
The direct implicit method with a second-order implicit integration scheme is formulated for and applied to the electron parallel nonlinearity in global electrostatic gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations of toroidal fusion plasmas. The method shows improved numerical accuracy and stability properties compared to the direct implicit method with a first-order integration scheme. The conservat...
متن کاملGyrokinetic simulation model for kinetic magnetohydrodynamic processes in magnetized plasmas
A nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation model incorporating equilibrium current has been formulated for studying kinetic magnetohydrodynamic processes in magnetized plasmas. This complete formulation enables gyrokinetic simulation of both pressure-gradient-driven and current-driven instabilities as well as their nonlinear interactions in multiscale simulations. The gyrokinetic simulation model recov...
متن کاملFull-f gyrokinetic simulation including kinetic electrons
A new hybrid kinetic electron model is developed for electrostatic full-f gyrokinetic simulations. The model is verified by computing the neoclassical transport and the linear ion temperature gradient driven trapped electron mode (ITG-TEM) stability. Impacts of kinetic electrons on the ITG turbulence are investigated, and a new saturation mechanism due to corrugated density profiles, which are ...
متن کاملGlobal gyrokinetic particle simulations with kinetic electrons
A toroidal, nonlinear, electrostatic fluid-kinetic hybrid electron model is formulated for global gyrokinetic particle simulations of driftwave turbulence in fusion plasmas. Numerical properties are improved by an expansion of the electron response using a smallness parameter of the ratio of driftwave frequency to electron transit frequency. Linear simulations accurately recover the real freque...
متن کاملGyrokinetic turbulence simulations with kinetic electrons*
Gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are presented with full drift-kinetic electron dynamics including both trapped and passing particle effects. This is made possible by using a generalization of the split-weight scheme �I. Manuilskiy and W. W. Lee, Phys. Plasmas 7, 1381 �2000�� that allows for a variable adiabatic part, as well as use of the parallel canonical momentum formulation. Linear simul...
