Gyrokinetic simulations of ETG and ITG turbulence
We report on the resolution of a significant discrepancy between published continuum-code simulations and subsequent global particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of electron-temperature-gradient (ETG) turbulence. Our investigations, using gyrokinetic δf -PICand continuum-code simulations and analytical theory, strongly support the conclusion from the earlier continuum-code simulations that ETG tur...
متن کاملFull-f gyrokinetic particle simulation of centrally heated global ITG turbulence from magnetic axis to edge pedestal top in a realistic tokamak geometry
Global electrostatic ITG turbulence physics, together with background dynamics, has been simulated in realistic tokamak core geometry using XGC1, a full-function 5D gyrokinetic particle code. Adiabatic electron model has been used. Some verification exercises of XGC1 have been presented. The simulation volume extends from the magnetic axis to the pedestal top inside the magnetic separatrix. Cen...
متن کاملElectromagnetic formulation of global gyrokinetic particle simulation in toroidal geometry
The fluid-kinetic hybrid electron model for global electromagnetic gyrokinetic particle simulations has been formulated in toroidal geometry using magnetic coordinates, providing the capabilities to describe low frequency processes in electromagnetic turbulence with electron dynamics. In the limit of long wavelength and no parallel electric field our equations reduce to the ideal magnetohydrody...
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 کاملElectromagnetic gyrokinetic df particle-in-cell turbulence simulation with realistic equilibrium profiles and geometry
The df particle-in-cell method for gyrokinetic simulations with kinetic electrons and electromagnetic perturbations [Y. Chen, S. Parker, J. Comput. Phys. 189 (2003) 463] is extended to include arbitrary toroidal equilibrium profiles and fluxsurface shapes. The domain is an arbitrarily sized toroidal slice with periodicity assumed in toroidal direction. It is global radially and poloidally along...
