Verification of the PICLS electromagnetic upgrade in mixed variables
Annika Stier, Alberto Bottino, David Coster +3
The gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code PICLS is a full-f finite element tool to simulate turbulence in the tokamak scrape-off layer. During the previous year, the capability of PICL…

Particle-in-cell methods in edge plasma physics: the PICLS code
Alberto Bottino, Annika Stier, Mathias Boesl +6
Over the past decades, multiple gyrokinetic codes have shown to be able to simulate turbulence and associated transport in the core of Tokamak devices. However, their application t…

Verification of the Fourier-enhanced 3D finite element Poisson solver of the gyrokinetic full-f code PICLS
Annika Stier, Alberto Bottino, Mathias Boesl +8
We introduce and derive the Fourier-enhanced 3D electrostatic field solver of the gyrokinetic full-f PIC code PICLS. The solver makes use of a Fourier representation in one periodi…
