Mitigation of Initial Transients in Total-f Gyrokinetic Turbulence Simulations Using Neoclassically Relaxed Distribution Function
S. Ku, R. Hager, C. S. Chang +2
Total-f five-dimensional gyrokinetic simulations are essential for self-consistent studies of multi-scale, multiphysics transport in the edge region of diverted tokamak plasmas. Ho…

Gyrokinetic prediction of core tungsten peaking in a WEST plasma with nitrogen impurities
J. Dominski, P. Maget, O. Manas +7
Tungsten peaking is predicted in the core of a WEST plasma with total-f gyrokinetic simulations, including both collisional and turbulent transport. This prediction is validated wi…
