Global full-f gyrokinetic simulations of plasma turbulence
Critical physical issues can be specifically tackled with the global full-f gyrokinetic code GYSELA. Three main results are presented. First, the selfconsistent treatment of equilibrium and fluctuations highlights the competition between two compensation mechanisms for the curvature driven vertical charge separation, namely, parallel flow and polarization. The impact of the latter on the turbul...
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 کاملFull f gyrokinetic simulation of transpor t in tokamak plasmas
Introduction: The electromagnetic gyrokinetic (GK) plasma simulation [1] for toroidal magnetic fusion devices has become a standard tool for turbulence analysis. Recently, it has been recognized that transport involving dynamic changes in profiles requires modelling with full f GK methods [2]. In the present work, we report on transport simulations for the FT-2 tokamak plasma with a full f nonl...
متن کاملGyrokinetic Full f Modelling of Plasma Turbulence in Tokamaks
Understanding turbulence in fusion plasmas has become a crucial task in order to achieve sufficient confinement level in large-scale devices like ITER. The ELMFIRE full f nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation code has been developed for calculation of plasma evolution and dynamics of turbulence in tokamak geometry. Code ELMFIRE is based on a particle-in-cell algorithm with direct implicit treatment ...
متن کاملGYSELA , a full- f global gyrokinetic Semi-Lagrangian code for ITG turbulence simulations
This work addresses non-linear global gyrokinetic simulations of ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven turbulence with the GYSELA code. The particularity of GYSELA code is to use a fixed grid with a Semi-Lagrangian (SL) scheme and this for the entire distribution function. The 4D non-linear drift-kinetic version of the code already showns the interest of such a SL method which exhibits good pro...
