Multiscale Nature of the Dissipation Range in Gyrokinetic Simulations of Alfvénic Turbulence.
Nonlinear energy transfer and dissipation in Alfvén wave turbulence are analyzed in the first gyrokinetic simulation spanning all scales from the tail of the MHD range to the electron gyroradius scale. For typical solar wind parameters at 1 AU, about 30% of the nonlinear energy transfer close to the electron gyroradius scale is mediated by modes in the tail of the MHD cascade. Collisional dissi...
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 کاملGyrokinetic Simulations of Plasma Turbulence on Massively Parallel Computers
With the rapid development of massively parallel computers, the particle-in-cell (PIC) approach to plasma microturbulence in toroidal geometry has become an increasingly important tool. Global, self-consistent simulations with up to 100 millions particles yield valuable insights in the dynamics of the turbulence. The inclusion of the fast-moving electrons in the dynamics represents a major chal...
متن کاملFull f Gyrokinetic Simulation of Tokamak Plasma Turbulence Using ELMFIRE
Gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulation on a transport and microinstability time scale is performed with the ELMFIRE code for a small tokamak FT-2 with kinetic electrons. Turbulent modes are characterized based on their poloidal phase velocity, and tentative comparison with the Doppler reflectometric measurement is done for the poloidal mode rotation. Cyclone base case comparison with adiabatic...
متن کاملGlobal 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...
