Spontaneous spin-up induced by turbulence-driven topological transition of orbits in a tokamak plasma
Shaojie Wang
Spontaneous spin-up are widely observed in tokamak plasmas, which is crucially important for plasma confinement. A kinetic theory is proposed to show that a toroidal rotation of co…

Gyrokinetic simulation of ITG turbulence with toroidal geometry including the magnetic axis by using field-aligned coordinates
Dai Zongliang, Xu Yingfeng, Ye Lei +2
Abstract Simulation domain in field-aligned coordinates of the electrostatic gyrokinetic nonlinear turbulence global code, NLT, is extended to include the magnetic axis. The artifi…
