On seed island generation and the non-linear self-consistent interaction of the tearing mode with electromagnetic gyro-kinetic turbulence
William Hornsby, Pierluigi Migliano, Rico Buchholz +4
The multi-scale interaction of self-consistently driven magnetic islands with electromagnetic turbulence is studied within the three dimensional, toroidal gyro-kinetic framework. I…
On the radial propagation of turbulence in gyro-kinetic toroidal systems
P. Migliano, R. Buchholz, S. R. Grosshauser +2
In this paper a conservation equation is derived for the radially dependent entropy in toroidal geometry using the local approximation of the gyro-kinetic framework. This equation…
Nonlinear seed island generation by three-dimensional electromagnetic, gyrokinetic turbulence
William Hornsby, Pierluigi Migliano, Rico Buchholz +4
Turbulence is shown to be critical to the onset and evolution of the neoclassical tearing mode, affecting both its growth and rotation. The interaction is here studied for the firs…
Ion temperature gradient instability at sub-Larmor radius scales with non-zero ballooning angle
Pierluigi Migliano, Yann Camenen, Francis Casson +2
Linear gyro-kinetic stability calculations predict unstable toroidal Ion Temperature Gradient modes with normalised poloidal wave vectors well above one () for standard…
