Title: Verification of linear resistive tearing instability with gyrokinetic particle code VirtEx

Abstract

Current-driven resistive tearing instability is verified using the newly developed global first-principles particle-in-cell code called VirtEx, which was coded from scratch in conformity with the C++'11 specifications. The tearing instability is first verified in the fluid limit in a cylinder geometry by ignoring the gyrokinetic effect of ions, and the numerical results agree well with the analytical predictions of the resistive tearing theory. Furthermore, the effect of toroidicity on resistive tearing instability is investigated.

Global gyrokinetic particle simulation of resistive tearing modes has been developed and verified in the gyrokinetic toroidal code (GTC). GTC linear simulations in the fluid limit of the kink-tearing and resistive tearing modes in the cylindrical geometry agree well with the resistive magnetohydrodynamic eigenvalue and initial value codes. Ion kinetic effects are found to reduce the radial width of the tearing modes. GTC simulations of the resistive tearing modes in the toroidal geometry find that the toroidicity reduces the growth rates.

Verification of gyrokinetic particle simulation of current-driven instability in fusion plasmas. IV. Drift-tearing mode

Journal Article Shi, Hao ; Zhang, Wenlu ; Feng, Hongying ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Here, the drift-tearing instability due to diamagnetic drift effects is verified using the Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code (GTC). First, the classical (2,1) resistive tearing mode is verified in a cylindrical geometry with a fluid model. The dependence of the growth rate of the resistive tearing mode on the beta value of the plasma is obtained and is found to qualitatively agree with the theoretical prediction. A drift-tearing mode is subsequently generated when the equilibrium pressure gradient is significant. In this mode, diamagnetic drift effects result in a reduced growth rate and a real frequency equal to the electron diamagnetic frequency. Themore »« less

Verification of gyrokinetic particle simulation of current-driven instability in fusion plasmas. III. Collisionless tearing mode

Journal Article Liu, Dongjian ; Southwestern Institution of Physics, Chengdu 610041 ; Bao, Jian ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A finite-mass electron fluid model for low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations, particularly the collisionless tearing mode, has been implemented in the gyrokinetic toroidal code. Using this fluid model, linear properties of the collisionless tearing mode have been verified. Simulations verify that the linear growth rate of the single collisionless tearing mode is proportional to D{sub e}{sup 2}, where D{sub e} is the electron skin depth. On the other hand, the growth rate of a double tearing mode is proportional to D{sub e} in the parameter regime of fusion plasmas.

A finite-mass electron fluid model for low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations, particularly the collisionless tearing mode, has been implemented in the gyrokinetic toroidal code. Using this fluid model, linear properties of the collisionless tearing mode have been verified. Simulations verify that the linear growth rate of the single collisionless tearing mode is proportional to De2, where De is the electron skin depth. On the other hand, the growth rate of a double tearing mode is proportional to De in the parameter regime of fusion plasmas.
