Gyrokinetic particle simulation of ITG modes in general toroidal geometry

  • 1. Univ. of California, Berkeley (United States)

Description

The authors have generalized the 1-1/2 d linearized gyrokinetic particle simulation code of Xu et. al. to tokamaks with non-circular cross section (i.e. elongation and triangularity) to study ion temperature gradient modes (ITG) in the presence of ion-ion collisions. They hope to determine the role of local magnetic shear, poloidal beta and various geometric factors in linear growth rate and transport coefficients. For comparison to DIII-D, they apply the code with input parameters calculated by the MacEquilibrium Code of Haney using experimental measurements of DIII-D. 2 refs
