Global simulations of tokamak microturbulence: finite-β effects and collisions
In this paper, we present global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations including finite βe effects and collisions in tokamak geometry. Global electromagnetic simulations using conventional δf particle in cell methods are very demanding, with respect to numerical resources, in order to correctly describe the evolution of the non-adiabatic part of the electron distribution function. This difficulty h...
متن کاملCollisions in Global Gyrokinetic Simulations of Tokamak Plasmas Using the f Particle-In-Cell Approach: Neoclassical Physics and Turbulent Transport
The present work takes place within the general context of research related to the development of nuclear fusion energy. More specifically, this thesis is mainly a numerical and physical contribution to the understanding of turbulence and associated transport phenomena occuring in tokamak plasmas, the most advanced and promising form of magnetically confined plasmas. The complexity of tokamak p...
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...
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 کاملNonlinear quasi-steady state benchmark of global gyrokinetic codes
Two global gyrokinetic codes are benchmarked against each other by comparing simulation results in the case of ion temperature gradient driven (ITG) turbulence, in the adiabatic electron response limit. The two codes are the Eulerian code GENE and the Lagrangian Particle-In-Cell code ORB5 which solve the gyrokinetic equations. Linear results are presented, including growth rates, real frequenci...
