Testing nonlocal models of electron thermal conduction for magnetic and inertial confinement fusion applications
Jonathan Peter Brodrick, Robert J. Kingham, Michael M. Marinak +10
Three models for nonlocal electron thermal transport are here compared against Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) codes to assess their accuracy in situations relevant to both inertial fus…
Suppression of phase mixing in drift-kinetic plasma turbulence
J. T. Parker, E. G. Highcock, A. A. Schekochihin +1
Transfer of free energy from large to small velocity-space scales by phase mixing leads to Landau damping in a linear plasma. In a turbulent drift-kinetic plasma, this transfer is…
Gyrokinetic simulations of fusion plasmas using a spectral velocity space representation
Joseph Thomas Parker
Magnetic confinement fusion reactors suffer severely from heat and particle losses through turbulent transport, which has inspired the construction of ever larger and more expensiv…
Phase mixing vs. nonlinear advection in drift-kinetic plasma turbulence
A. A. Schekochihin, J. T. Parker, E. G. Highcock +3
A scaling theory of long-wavelength electrostatic turbulence in a magnetised, weakly collisional plasma (e.g., ITG turbulence) is proposed, with account taken both of the nonlinear…
Fourier-Hermite spectral representation for the Vlasov-Poisson system in the weakly collisional limit
J. T. Parker, P. J. Dellar
We study Landau damping in the 1+1D Vlasov-Poisson system using a Fourier-Hermite spectral representation. We describe the propagation of free energy in phase space using forwards…
Irreversible energy flow in forced Vlasov dynamics
G. G. Plunk, J. T. Parker
A recent paper [Phys. Plasmas 20, 032304 (2013)] considered the forced linear Vlasov equation as a model for the quasi-steady state of a single stable plasma wavenumber interacting…
