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…
