Ion temperature gradient mode mitigation by energetic particles, mediated by forced-driven zonal flows
Juvert Njeck Sama, Alessandro Biancalani, Alberto Bottino +14
In this work, we use the global electromagnetic and electrostatic gyro kinetic approaches to investigate the effects of zonal flows forced-driven by Alfvén modes due to their excit…

How accurate are flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes in modeling energetic particle effects on core turbulence?
A. Di Siena, T. Hayward-Schneider, P. Mantica +8
Flux-tube 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…

Verification of the Fourier-enhanced 3D finite element Poisson solver of the gyrokinetic full-f code PICLS
Annika Stier, Alberto Bottino, Mathias Boesl +8
We introduce and derive the Fourier-enhanced 3D electrostatic field solver of the gyrokinetic full-f PIC code PICLS. The solver makes use of a Fourier representation in one periodi…
