Global gyrokinetic analysis of Wendelstein 7-X discharge: unveiling the importance of trapped-electron-mode and electron-temperature-gradient turbulence
Felix Wilms, Alejandro Bañón Navarro, Thomas Windisch +8
We present the first nonlinear, gyrokinetic, radially global simulation of a discharge of the Wendelstein 7-X-like stellarator (W7-X), including kinetic electrons, an equilibrium r…
Assessing global ion thermal confinement in critical-gradient-optimized stellarators
A. Bañón Navarro, G. T. Roberg-Clark, G. G. Plunk +4
We investigate the confinement properties of two recently devised quasi-helically symmetric stellarator configurations, HSK and QSTK. Both have been optimized for large critical gr…
The Structure of Plasma Heating in Gyrokinetic Alfvénic Turbulence
A. B. Navarro, B. Teaca, D. Told +3
We analyze plasma heating in weakly collisional kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) turbulence using high resolution gyrokinetic simulations spanning the range of scales between the ion and…
Kinetic intermittency in magnetized plasma turbulence
Bogdan Teaca, Alejandro Bañón Navarro, Daniel Told +1
We employ magnetized plasma turbulence, described by a gyrokinetic formalism in an interval ranging from the end of the fluid scales to the electron gyroradius, to introduce the fi…
Gyrokinetic studies of core turbulence features in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas
A. Banon Navarro, T. Happel, T. Goerler +6
Gyrokinetic validation studies are crucial in developing confidence in the model incorporated in numerical simulations and thus improving their predictive capabilities. As one step…
Collision-dependent power law scalings in 2D gyrokinetic turbulence
S. S. Cerri, A. Bañón Navarro, F. Jenko +1
Nonlinear gyrokinetics provides a suitable framework to describe short-wavelength turbulence in magnetized laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. In the electrostatic limit, this sy…
