How accurate are flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes in modeling energetic particle effects on core turbulence?

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes are widely used to simulate drift-wave turbulence in magnetic confinement devices. While a large number of studies show that flux-tube codes provide an excellent approximation for turbulent transport in medium-large ...

Validity of gyrokinetic theory in magnetized plasmas

Communications Physics
Gyrokinetics, as a reduced kinetic theory derived from adiabaticity, provides a general framework for the long-term dynamics of magnetized plasmas. While its validity limits are stated in terms of formal expansion parameters, more quantitative test of ...

Edge Fluid Turbulence Simulations of Stellarators With GRILLIX

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The edge fluid turbulence code GRILLIX has recently been extended from axisymmetric tokamak geometries to support 3D stellarator configurations. Following successful proof‐of‐principle simulations published in Stegmeir et al., we present here a comprehensive simulation of the Wendelstein 7‐AS stellarator.

Effect of Magnetic Islands on Neoclassical Heat Diffusivity in a Global Tokamak Simulation

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) alter magnetic field topology via island formation and can modify core transport in toroidal fusion devices. Using the global gyrokinetic particle‐in‐cell code XGC‐S, originally developed for stellarator geometries, we quantify how island topology affects neoclassical heat transport in a circular tokamak ...

Reconstruction and interpretation of ionization asymmetry in magnetic confinement via synthetic diagnostics

Nuclear Fusion
Strong poloidal refueling asymmetry in the DIII-D tokamak is inferred from line radiation measurements. Synthetic diagnostics in neutral transport modeling coupled to gyrokinetic simulations illuminate implications for the plasma flow profile in the ...

System Size Effects on Gyrokinetic Turbulence [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2010
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-standing quantitative disagreement, which may have arisen due to inconsistencies in the ...

Capturing Secondary Kinetic Instabilities in Three‐Dimensional Dayside Reconnection Using an Improved Gradient‐Based Closure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a highly dynamic process that excites a wide variety of kinetic waves and instabilities. Transverse current sheet instabilities such as the lower‐hybrid drift and secondary drift‐kink instabilities in particular have been shown by kinetic simulations to modify the reconnection and introduce significant turbulence and ...
