Study of the impact of fast ions on core turbulence at rational surfaces via global gyrokinetic simulations
D. Brioschi, A. Di Siena, R. Bilato +6
In this work, the interplay between fast ions and safety factor rational surfaces is studied in a turbulent plasma via global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations. Initially, the fast…
Comparison of MHD and gyrokinetic simulations of linear instabilities at the q = 1 surface
F. N. Antlitz, X. Wang, M. Hoelzl +10
Accurate modeling of core instabilities in tokamak plasmas is essential to understand the underlying physical mechanisms and their impact on plasma confinement. The ideal stability…
Is Turbulence able to Generate Magnetic Islands in Tokamaks? Gyrokinetic Simulations of Turbulence-Driven Magnetic Islands in Toroidal Geometry
Fabien Widmer, Emanuele Poli, Alexey Mishchenko +3
We report a universal mechanism for turbulence-driven magnetic islands in fusion plasmas. Using gyrokinetic simulations of a linearly stable tearing mode in a large-aspect-ratio to…
