Electrostatic gyrokinetic simulation of global tokamak boundary plasma and the generation of nonlinear intermittent turbulence
S. Ku, R. M. Churchill, C. S. Chang +5
Boundary plasma physics plays an important role in tokamak confinement, but is difficult to simulate in a gyrokinetic code due to the scale-inseparable nonlocal multi-physics in ma…

Gyrokinetic projection of the divertor heat-flux width from present tokamaks to ITER
C. S. Chang, S. Ku, A. Loarte +11
The XGC1 edge gyrokinetic code is used for a high fidelity prediction for the width of the heat-flux to divertor plates in attached plasma condition. The simulation results are val…

A fast low-to-high mode bifurcation dynamics in a tokamak edge plasma gyrokinetic simulation
C. S. Chang, S. Ku, G. R. Tynan +6
Transport barrier formation and its relation to sheared flows in fluids and plasmas are of fundamental interest in various natural and laboratory observations and of critical impor…
