Suppression of temperature-gradient-driven turbulence by sheared flows in fusion plasmas
P. G. Ivanov, T. Adkins, D. Kennedy +3
Starting from the assumption that saturation of plasma turbulence driven by temperature-gradient instabilities in fusion plasmas is achieved by a local energy cascade between a lon…
A quasi-linear model of electromagnetic turbulent transport and its application to flux-driven transport predictions for STEP
M. Giacomin, D. Dickinson, W. Dorland +7
A quasi-linear reduced transport model is developed from a database of high- electromagnetic nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations performed with Spherical Tokamak for Energy Produ…
shear suppression of microtearing based transport in spherical tokamaks
B. S. Patel, M. R. Hardman, D. Kennedy +3
Electromagnetic microtearing modes (MTMs) have been observed in many different spherical tokamak regimes. Understanding how these and other electromagnetic modes nonlinearly satura…
On the importance of parallel magnetic-field fluctuations for electromagnetic instabilities in STEP
D. Kennedy, C. M. Roach, M. Giacomin +8
[ABRIDGED] This paper discusses the importance of parallel perturbations of the magnetic-field in gyrokinetic simulations of electromagnetic instabilities and turbulence at mid-rad…
