Gyrokinetic transport relations for gyroscale turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

We derive explicit local transport relations for the global gyrokinetic formalism at arbitrary wavelength. This is an extension of the analysis in Scott et. al. 2010 where this was examined in the long-wavelength limit. Deriving a local expression for the ...

Long global gyrokinetic simulations: Source terms and particle noise control

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Sébastien Jolliet, Paolo Angelino

In global gyrokinetic simulations it takes a long time for the turbulence to reach a quasisteady state, and quantitative predictions about the quasisteady state turbulence have been difficult to obtain computationally. In particular, global particle-in-cel ...

Global simulations of tokamak microturbulence: finite beta effects and collisions

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

In this paper, we present global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations including finite beta effects and collisions in tokamak geometry. Global electromagnetic simulations using conventional delta-f particle in cell methods are very demanding, with respect to ...

The aim of this paper is to present a signal processing algorithm that, applied to the raw Locked Mode signal, allows us to obtain a disruption indicator in principle exploitable on different tokamaks. A common definition of such an indicator for different ...

Rapid Fourier space solution of linear partial differential equations in toroidal magnetic confinement geometries

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Sébastien Jolliet, Paolo Angelino

Fluctuating quantities in magnetic confinement geometries often inherit a strong anisotropy along the field lines. One technique for describing these structures is the use of a certain set of Fourier components on the tori of nested flux surfaces. We descr ...

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 ...

Nonlinear interaction of Alfvénic instabilities and turbulence via the modification of the equilibrium profiles

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino

Nonlinear simulations of Alfvén modes (AMs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) in the presence of turbulence are performed with the gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5. The AMs carry a heat flux, and consequently they nonlinearly modify the plasma temp ...

Nonlinear electrostatic global gyrokinetic simulations of collisionless ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence and ExB zonal flows in axisymmetric toroidal plasmas are examined for different choices of the initial distribution function. Using a local Ma ...

First principles gyrokinetic analysis of electromagnetic plasma instabilities

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Alberto Bottino, Emmanuel Lanti, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana

A two-fold analysis of electromagnetic core tokamak instabilities in the framework of the gyrokinetic theory is presented. First principle theoretical foundations of the gyrokinetic theory are used to explain and justify the numerical results obtained with ...

System size effects on gyrokinetic turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Sébastien Jolliet

The scaling of turbulence-driven heat transport with system size in magnetically confined plasmas is reexamined using first-principles based numerical simulations. Two very different numerical methods are applied to this problem, in order to resolve a long ...

Inductive current density perturbations to probe electron internal transport barriers in tokamaks

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Roland Behn, Alberto Bottino, Emiliano Fable, Costanza Zucca, Andrei Martynov, Petri Nikkola

Improved electron energy confinement in tokamak plasmas, related to internal transport barriers, has been linked to nonmonotonic current density profiles. This is difficult to prove experimentally since usually the current profiles evolve continuously and ...
