Global electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of internal transport barriers in reversed-shear tokamaks
Giovanni Di Giannatale, Arnas Volčokas, Justin Ball +6
This work aims at improving our understanding of the conditions enabling the development of an Internal transport barriers (ITB), using a more comprehensive physical model, includi…
Turbulence-Induced Safety Factor Profile Flattening at Rational Surfaces in Tokamaks with Low Magnetic Shear
Arnas Volčokas, Justin Ball, Giovanni Di Giannatale +1
In this paper, we investigate the effects of ion-scale turbulence-generated currents on the local safety factor profile under conditions of low magnetic shear and proximity to rati…
Reducing turbulent transport in tokamaks by combining intrinsic rotation and the low momentum diffusivity regime
Haomin Sun, Justin Ball, Stephan Brunner +8
Based on the analysis of a large number of high-fidelity nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, we propose a novel strategy to improve confinement in spherical tokamak plasmas by combi…
Physics of the low momentum diffusivity regime in tokamaks and its experimental applicability
Haomin Sun, Justin Ball, Stephan Brunner +9
Strong plasma flow shear is beneficial for reducing turbulent transport. However, traditional methods of driving flow shear do not scale well to large devices such as f…
Self-interaction of turbulent eddies in tokamaks with low magnetic shear
Arnas Volčokas, Justin Ball, Stephan Brunner
Using local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, we demonstrate that turbulent eddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns in tokamaks with weak or ze…
