Gyrokinetic simulation of low-n Alfvenic modes in tokamak HL-2A plasmas

Javier García Hernández, Samuele Mazzi

The turbulence characteristics of plasmas with internal transport barriers in the HL-2A tokamak are analyzed by means of linear gyrokinetic simulations. It is found that turbulence is dominated by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode together with large ...
