Fluidization of collisionless plasma turbulence. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 In a collisionless, magnetized plasma, particles may stream freely along magnetic-field lines, leading to phase "mixing" of their distribution function and consequently to smoothing out of any "compressive" fluctuations (of density, pressure, etc ...

Considering fluctuation energy as a measure of gyrokinetic turbulence
New Journal of Physics, 2012 In gyrokinetic theory, there are two quadratic measures of fluctuation energy, left invariant under nonlinear interactions, that constrain turbulence. In a recent work (Plunk and Tatsuno 2011 Phys. Rev. Lett.

Dynamic Procedure for Filtered Gyrokinetic Simulations [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2011 Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of gyrokinetic plasma turbulence are investigated as interesting candidates to decrease the computational cost. A dynamic procedure is implemented in the GENE code, allowing for dynamic optimization of the free parameters of ...

Predictions of improved confinement in SPARC via energetic particle turbulence stabilization
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 The recent progress in high-temperature superconductor technologies has led to the design and construction of SPARC, a compact tokamak device expected to reach plasma breakeven with up to 25 MW of external ion cyclotron resonant heating (ICRH) power ...

Eigenmode stability analysis of drift-mirror modes in nonuniform plasmas [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2006 Drift-mirror modes in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous model of the magnetosphere are studied by employing gyrokinetics, taking into account finite Larmor radius effects.

First-principles based plasma profile predictions for optimized stellarators
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 In the present Letter, first-of-its-kind computer simulations predicting plasma profiles for modern optimized stellarators—while self-consistently retaining neoclassical transport, turbulent transport with 3D effects, and external physical sources—are ...

Full-flux-surface effects on electrostatic turbulence in Wendelstein 7-X-like plasmas
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 We present the first nonlinear, gyrokinetic, surface-global simulations of a Wendelstein 7-X-like stellarator with kinetic electrons. As a first application, we investigate the interplay between Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) and Trapped Electron Mode ...

Zonal flow excitation in electron-scale tokamak turbulence
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 The derivation of an intermediate-scale gyrokinetic-electron theory in nonuniform tokamak plasmas (Chen et al 2021 Nucl. Fusion 61 https://doi.org/10.1088/1741-4326/abf81a ) has shown that a Navier–Stokes type nonlinearity couples electron-temperature ...

Isotope mass dependence of pedestal transport in JET H-mode plasmas
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 We present a comparative transport analysis of the isotope mass dependence in the pedestal of two pairs of deuterium/hydrogen type I ELMy H-mode discharges in JET with ITER-like wall, one characterized by the same input power, the other one by the same ...
