Investigation of a Multiple-Timescale Turbulence-Transport Coupling Method in the Presence of Random Fluctuations
Jeffrey B. Parker, Lynda L. LoDestro, Alejandro Campos
One route to improved predictive modeling of magnetically confined fusion reactors is to couple transport solvers with direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulence, rather than…

Bringing global gyrokinetic turbulence simulations to the transport timescale using a multiscale approach
Jeffrey B. Parker, Lynda L. LoDestro, Daniel Told +5
The vast separation dividing the characteristic times of energy confinement and turbulence in the core of toroidal plasmas makes first-principles prediction on long timescales extr…
