How eigenmode self-interaction affects zonal flows and convergence of tokamak core turbulence with toroidal system size

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Gabriele Merlo, Ajay Chandrarajan Jayalekshmi, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

Self-interaction is the process by which a microinstability eigenmode that is extended along the direction parallel to the magnetic field interacts non-linearly with itself. This effect is particularly significant in gyrokinetic simulations accounting for ...

Orb5: A global electromagnetic gyrokinetic code using the PIC approach in toroidal geometry

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Emmanuel Lanti, Sébastien Jolliet, Alberto Bottino, Thibaut Vernay, Ben McMillan, Paolo Angelino, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana

This paper presents the current state of the global gyrokinetic code Orb5 as an update of the previous reference (Jolliet et al., 2007). The Orb5 code solves the electromagnetic Vlasov–Maxwell system of equations using a PIC scheme and also includes collis ...

An arbitrary wavelength solver for global gyrokinetic simulations. Application to the study of fine radial structures on microturbulence due to non-adiabatic passing electron dynamics

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Ben McMillan, Gabriele Merlo, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

The influence of the fine layers of the non-adiabatic passing electron response on electrostatic turbulent transport, previously studied systematically in flux tube geometry [Dominski et al., Phys. Plasmas 22, 062303 (2015)], is pursued in global geometry ...

Padé approximation of the adiabatic electron contribution to the gyrokinetic quasi-neutrality equation in the ORB5 code

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Emmanuel Lanti, Ben McMillan, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

This work aims at completing the implementation of a solver for the quasineutrality equation using a PadÃ© approximation in the global gyrokinetic code ORB5. Initially [Dominski, Ph.D. thesis, 2016], the Pade approximation was only implemented for the kine ...

Development and application of Eulerian and Particle-in-Cell gyrokinetic codes for studying the effect of non-adiabatic passing electron dynamics on microturbulence

Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

In tokamak fusion plasmas, micro-turbulence transport is known to be the cause of large losses of heat and particles. The present work deals with the study of electrostatic micro-turbulence transport driven by instabilities of essentially two types: the io ...

How non-adiabatic passing electron layers of linear microinstabilities affect turbulent transport

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

The response of passing electrons in ion temperature gradient and trapped electron mode microturbulence regimes is investigated in tokamak geometry making use of the flux-tube version of the gyrokinetic code GENE. Results are obtained using two different e ...

Turbulence and zonal flow structures in the core and L-mode pedestal of tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Ben McMillan, Gabriele Merlo, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

Zonal flows (ZF) play a crucial role in regulating ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence. In previous global gyrokinetic simulations [1] using the ORB5 code with the adiabatic electron model, it was observed that long-lived ZF structures, leading to a ...
