Electron-Scale-Driven Turbulence by Negative-Density-Gradient in NSTX
C. Clauser, J. Candy, J. Parisi +7
Gyrokinetic simulations of an NSTX spherical-tokamak plasma reveal novel negative-density-gradient (NDG) drift waves at electron-gyroradius-scale that drive turbulent transport com…
Impact of energetic alpha particles on core turbulence in an ARC-class fusion power plant
J. Hall, N. T Howard, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez +7
In this work, we investigate the impact of fusion-born alpha particles on core turbulence and transport in the ARC tokamak fusion power plant using linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic…
Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…
Verification of Fast Ion Effects on Turbulence through Comparison of GENE and CGYRO with L-mode Plasmas in KSTAR
Donguk Kim, Taeuk Moon, Choongki Sung +7
This study presents a cross-verification of fast ion effects on turbulence through a systematic comparison of two leading gyrokinetic codes, GENE [F. Jenko et al., Phys. Plasmas 7…
