A new three-dimensional code, VENUS+delta f, for neoclassical transport calculations in nonaxisymmetric toroidal systems is presented. Numerical drift orbits from the original VENUS code and the delta f method developed for tokamak transport calculations a ...
The mutual interactions of ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven modes, zonal flows and geodesic acoustic modes (GAM) in tokamak plasmas are investigated using a global nonlinear gyrokinetic formulation with totally unconstrained evolution of temperature g ...
Global gyrokinetic particle simulations have been used to search tokamak configurations which are stable again st the ion-temperature-gradient - driven (ITG) modes commonly held responsible for the core anomalous ion heat transport. The stable configuratio ...
