Low-dimensional geometry learning for turbulence prediction in optimized stellarators
Xishuo Wei, Handi Huang, Haotian Chen +4
The optimized stellarator is an attractive concept for which the averaged particle radial drift is zero, and the single particle loss can be significantly reduced. But for the reac…
Formulation and verification of multiscale gyrokinetic simulation of kinetic-MHD processes in toroidal plasmas
Xishuo Wei, Pengfei Liu, Gyungjin Choi +11
A comprehensive gyrokinetic simulation model has been implemented in the global toroidal gyrokinetic code (GTC) and verified for studying low-frequency waves and turbulence in magn…
Geometry effects on zonal flow dynamics and turbulent transport in optimized stellarators
Haotian Chen, Xishuo Wei, Hongxuan Zhu +1
Global gyrokinetic simulations find a strong suppression of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence by zonal flows in stellarators optimized for neoclassical transport. The reduc…
Gyrokinetic simulations of the effects of magnetic islands on microturbulence in KSTAR
Xishuo Wei, Javier H Nicolau, Gyungjin Choi +8
Gyrokinetic simulations are utilized to study effects of magnetic islands on the ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence in the KSTAR tokamak with resonant magnetic perturbations…
