Nonlinear simulation of plasma turbulence using a gyrokinetic moment-based approach

Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

Plasma turbulence plays a fundamental role in determining the performances of magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks. Advances in computer science, combined with the development of efficient physical models, have significantly improved our u ...

Gyrokinetic moment-based simulations of the Dimits shift

Paolo Ricci, Baptiste Jimmy Frei, Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

We present a convergence study of the gyromoment (GM) approach, which is based on projecting the gyrokinetic distribution function onto a Hermite–Laguerre polynomial basis, focused on the cyclone base case (CBC) (Lin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 83, no. ...

Four-dimensional drift-kinetic model for scrape-off layer plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A four-dimensional plasma model able to describe the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived in the drift-reduced limit. The basis of the model is provided by a drift-kinetic equation that retains the full nonlinea ...

Theory of the Drift-Wave Instability at Arbitrary Collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A numerically efficient framework that takes into account the effect of the Coulomb collision operator at arbitrary collisionalities is introduced. Such a model is based on the expansion of the distribution function on a Hermite-Laguerre polynomial basis t ...
