Global Field Aligned Mesh and Gyrokinetic Field Solver in a Tokamak Edge Geometry (Final Technical Report)
- California Institute of Technology (CalTech), Pasadena, CA (United States); California Institute of Technology
This project was a collaboration between researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Irvine to investigate the utility of a global field-aligned mesh and gyrokinetic field solver for simulations of the tokamak plasma edge region. Mesh generation software from UC Irvine was tested with specific tokamak edge magnetic geometry scenarios and the quality of the meshes and the solutions to the gyrokinetic Poisson equation were evaluated.
