"Gyrokinetics"

Modeling turbulent transport is a major goal in order to predict confinement issues in a tokamak plasma. The gyrokinetic framework considers a computational domain in five dimensions to look at kinetic issues in a plasma. Gyrokinetic simulations lead …

Flux driven kinetic transport is analysed for deeply trapped ion turbulence with the code GYSELA. The main observation is the existence of a steady state situation with respect to the statistics, in particular the balance between the injected energy …
