Global gyrokinetic analysis of Wendelstein 7-X discharge: unveiling the importance of trapped-electron-mode and electron-temperature-gradient turbulence

Felix Wilms, Alejandro Bañón Navarro, Thomas Windisch +8

We present the first nonlinear, gyrokinetic, radially global simulation of a discharge of the Wendelstein 7-X-like stellarator (W7-X), including kinetic electrons, an equilibrium r…
