Pre L-H Transition Radial Electric Field and Transport Validations of Edge and Scrape-off Layer Gyrokinetic Simulations at ASDEX Upgrade

B. J. Frei, C. Angioni, G. Lo-Cascio +5

This work presents a stepwise validation of the evolution of the radial electric field (Er) and heat transport during the pre L-H transition phase using full-f gyrokinetic simulati…
