MGKDB: An IMAS-aligned multicode gyrokinetic simulation database for reproducible fusion turbulence modeling and data-driven analysis

Craig Michoski, David R. Hatch, Dongyang Kuang +14

Expensive fusion simulations are commonly preserved in code-specific formats that limit discovery, comparison, and reuse. We present the Multiscale GyroKinetic DataBase (MGKDB), an…

Machine learning methods for modelling local, linear gyrokinetic simulations of MAST-U pedestal turbulence

Anna Niemelä, Daniel Jordan, Aaro Järvinen +8

Gyrokinetic (GK) stability strongly influences the performance of high-confinement-mode pedestals in spherical tokamak plasmas. High-fidelity gyrokinetic codes such as GENE can mod…

Microtearing Thresholds and Second-Stable Ballooning in the DIII-D Pedestal: Reduced Modeling and Core-Edge Implications

David R. Hatch, Leonhard A. Leppin, Mike T. Kotschenreuther +4

Global and local linear gyrokinetic simulations of 42 pedestal equilibria from three DIII-D discharges are used to investigate pedestal stability and its impact on pedestal structu…
