Gyrokinetic df simulation of the collisionless and semicollisional tearing mode instability
The evolution of collisionless and semicollisional tearing mode instabilities is studied using an electromagnetic gyrokinetic df particle-in-cell simulation model. Drift-kinetic electrons are used. Linear eigenmode analysis is presented for the case of fixed ions and there is excellent agreement with simulation. A double peaked eigenmode structure is seen indicative of a positive D8. Nonlinear ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations
A new electromagnetic kinetic electron d f particle simulation model has been demonstrated to work well at large values of plasma b times the ion-to-electron mass ratio @Y. Chen and S. E. Parker, J. Comput. Phys. 198, 463 ~2003!#. The simulation is three-dimensional using toroidal flux-tube geometry and includes electron-ion collisions. The model shows accurate shear Alfvén wave damping and mic...

متن کاملGyrokinetic simulations of turbulent transport
This overview is an assessment of the gyrokinetic framework and simulations to compute turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. It covers an introduction to the gyrokinetic theory, the principal numerical techniques which are being used to solve the gyrokinetic equations, fundamentals in gyrokinetic turbulence and the main results which have been brought by simulations with regard to transport in...
متن کاملTearing instability in relativistic magnetically dominated plasmas
Many astrophysical sources of high energy emission, such as black hole magnetospheres, superstrongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars), and probably relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts involve relativistically magnetically dominated plasma. In such plasma the energy density of magnetic field greatly exceeds the thermal and the rest mass energy density of particle...
