EPFL2021Using an antenna as a tool for studying microturbulence and zonal structures in tokamaks with a global gyrokinetic GPU-enabled particle-in-cell code
In order to get a better understanding of the interaction of plasma microinstabilities and associated turbulence with specific modes, an antenna is implemented in the global gyrokinetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code ORB5.
It consists in applying an external ...
EPFL2020The asymmetric multitype contact process
