Nonlinear electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas
One of the central physics issues currently targeted by nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations is the role of finite-β effects. The latter change the MHD equilibrium, introduce new dynamical space and time scales, alter and enlarge the zoo of electrostatic microinstabilities and saturation mechanisms, and lead to turbulent transport along fluctuating magnetic field lines. It is shown that the electr...
متن کاملGyrokinetic Simulation of Tokamak Edge Plasmas
It has been recently discovered that the trapped electron mode (TEM) may play an important role in the H mode edge plasma for domestic tokamaks such as EAST and HL-2A. The stability and transport for TEM for the edge parameters are studied using large scale gyrokinetic particle simulations. The gyrokinetic simulation reveals the parametric dependences on the wavelength and collisionality. The b...
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 Particle Simulation of Microturbulence in Tokamak Plasmas
Recent progress in gyrokinetic simulations of plasma microturbulence using GTC code is reported. Several topics are covered, including anomalous transport of toroidal angular momentum, simulations in real geometry, validation and verification efforts, and extension of the simulation model to include the magnetic field perturbations. Simulations of momentum transport driven by the ion temperatur...
متن کاملGlobal Approach to the Spectral Problem of Microinstabilities in Tokamak Plasmas Using a Gyrokinetic Model
Ion temperature gradient (ITG) -related instabilities are studied in tokamak-like plasmas with the help of a new global eigenvalue code. Ions are modeled in the frame of gyrokinetic theory so that finite Larmor radius effects of these particles are retained to all orders. Non-adiabatic trapped electron dynamics is taken into account through the bounce-averaged drift kinetic equation. Assuming e...
