Synergy between ion temperature gradient turbulence and neoclassical processes in global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

Based on the CYCLONE case, simulations of collisional electrostatic ion temperature gradient (ITG) microturbulence carried out with the global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code ORB5 are presented. Considering adiabatic electrons, an increase in ion h ...

Gyrokinetic transport relations for gyroscale turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

We derive explicit local transport relations for the global gyrokinetic formalism at arbitrary wavelength. This is an extension of the analysis in Scott et. al. 2010 where this was examined in the long-wavelength limit. Deriving a local expression for the ...

Interaction of large scale flow structures with gyrokinetic turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

Shear flows have a profound influence on turbulence-driven transport in tokamaks. The introduction of arbitrary initial flow profiles into the code ORB5 [Jolliet et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 177, 409 (2007)] allows the convenient study of how flows on all ...

Global simulations of tokamak microturbulence: finite beta effects and collisions

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

In this paper, we present global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations including finite beta effects and collisions in tokamak geometry. Global electromagnetic simulations using conventional delta-f particle in cell methods are very demanding, with respect to ...

Predictions on heat transport and plasma rotation from global gyrokinetic simulations

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Paolo Angelino, Ben McMillan

Flux-driven global gyrokinetic codes are now mature enough to make predictions in terms of turbulence and transport in tokamak plasmas. Some of the recent breakthroughs of three such codes, namely GYSELA, ORB5 and XGC1, are reported and compared wherever a ...

Global Nonlinear Electromagnetic Simulations of Tokamak Turbulence

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

The particle-in-cell code ORB5 is a global gyrokinetic turbulence simulation code in tokamak geometry. It has been developed at CRPP, Lausanne, Switzerland, with major contributions from IPP, Garching, Germany, and IPP, Greifswald, Germany, under a long-st ...

System size effects on gyrokinetic turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Xavier Lapillonne

The scaling of turbulence-driven heat transport with system size in magnetically confined plasmas is reexamined using first-principles based numerical simulations. Two very different numerical methods are applied to this problem, in order to resolve a long ...

Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulent transport: size scaling and chaotic behaviour

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Thibaut Vernay, Ben McMillan, Xavier Lapillonne

Important steps towards the understanding of turbulent transport have been made with the development of the gyrokinetic framework for describing turbulence and with the emergence of numerical codes able to solve the set of gyrokinetic equations. This paper ...
