High-resolution electric field and temperature distributions in positive streamers

Siebe Dijcks, Lukáš Kusýn, Jesper Janssen +3

In this work, we aim to take a detailed experimental picture of the positive streamer. We apply optical emission spectroscopy to the first negative system (FNS, ${\rm B}^2Σ_{\rm u}…

Integrated modelling and multiscale gyrokinetic validation study of ETG turbulence in a JET hybrid H-mode scenario

J Citrin, S Maeyama, C Angioni +11

Previous studies with first-principle-based integrated modelling suggested that ETG turbulence may lead to an anti-GyroBohm isotope scaling in JET high-performance hybrid H-mode sc…

Multidisciplinary benchmarks of a conservative spectral solver for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation

George J. Wilkie, Torsten Keßler, Sergej Rjasanow

The Boltzmann equation describes the evolution of the phase-space probability distribution of classical particles under binary collisions. Approximations to it underlie the basis f…
