Simplicial Approximation of Deforming 3D Spaces for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data
Congrong Ren, Hanqi Guo
We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for data simulated as 2D planar meshes with connectivities along the poloidal dimension in deforming 3D toroidal (donut-like) space…
Verification of the global gyrokinetic stellarator code XGC-S for linear ion temperature gradient driven modes
Michael D. J. Cole, Robert Hager, Toseo Moritaka +5
XGC (X-point Gyrokinetic Code) is a whole-volume, total-f gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code developed for modelling tokamaks. In recent work, XGC has been extended to model more ge…
Verification of long wavelength electromagnetic modes with a gyrokinetic-fluid hybrid model in the XGC code
Robert Hager, Jianying Lang, Choong-Seock Chang +4
As an alternative option to kinetic electrons, the gyrokinetic total-f particle-in-cell (PIC) code XGC1 has been extended to the MHD/fluid type electromagnetic regime by combining…
Total Fluid Pressure Imbalance in the Scrape-Off Layer of Tokamak Plasmas
R. M. Churchill, J. M. Canik, C. S. Chang +5
Simulations using the fully kinetic neoclassical code XGCa were undertaken to explore the impact of kinetic effects on scrape-off layer (SOL) physics in DIII-D H-mode plasmas. XGCa…
Gyrokinetic projection of the divertor heat-flux width from present tokamaks to ITER
C. S. Chang, S. Ku, A. Loarte +11
The XGC1 edge gyrokinetic code is used for a high fidelity prediction for the width of the heat-flux to divertor plates in attached plasma condition. The simulation results are val…
Kinetic modeling of divertor heat load fluxes in the Alcator C-Mod and DIII-D tokamaks
A. Y. Pankin, T. Rafiq, A. H. Kritz +8
The guiding-center kinetic neoclassical transport code, XGC0, [C.S. Chang et. al, Phys. Plasmas 11, 2649 (2004)] is used to compute the heat fluxes and the heat-load width in the o…
