How accurate are flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes in modeling energetic particle effects on core turbulence?

Olivier Sauter, Alberto Bottino

Flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes are widely used to simulate drift-wave turbulence in magnetic confinement devices. While a large number of studies show that flux-tube codes provide an excellent approximation for turbulent transport in medium-large devi ...
