Gyrokinetic global simulation of Alfvenic ion temperature gradient mode in reversed magnetic shear
Gengxian Li, Zhixin Lu, Philipp Lauber +3
In this work, a systematic study of electromagnetic instabilities driven by the temperature gradient in magnetically confined fusion plasmas with reversed magnetic shear is conduct…
TRIMEG-GKX: an electromagnetic gyrokinetic particle code with a Piecewise Field-Aligned Finite Element Method for Micro- and Macro-Instability Studies in Tokamak Core Plasmas
Zhixin Lu, Guo Meng, Roman Hatzky +2
The features of the TRIMEG-GKX code are described with emphasis on the exploration using novel/different schemes compared to other gyrokinetic codes, particularly the use of object…
Piecewise Field-Aligned Finite Element Method for Multi-Mode Nonlinear Particle Simulations in tokamak plasmas
Zhixin Lu, Guo Meng, Eric Sonnendrücker +5
This paper presents a novel approach for simulating plasma instabilities in tokamak plasmas using the piecewise field-aligned finite element method in combination with the particle…
Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic Particle Simulations in Triangular Meshes with C1 Finite Elements
Zhixin Lu, Guo Meng, Roman Hatzky +6
The triangular mesh-based gyrokinetic scheme enables comprehensive axis-to-edge studies across the entire plasma volume. Our approach employs triangular finite elements with first-…
