Spectral treatment of gyrokinetic profile curvature

Journal Article Candy, J. ; Belli, E. A. ; Staebler, G. - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

Using a novel wavenumber-advection algorithm, we show that profile curvature (shear in the profile gradient) can be implemented with spectral accuracy in gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. Here, this approach enables a global simulation capability with the relatively low cost and high accuracy of local simulations. Using this new algorithm, we show that for a well-studied tokamak core test case, the effect of temperature-gradient curvature is below the threshold of detectability for experimentally-relevant values of curvature.

Investigating shear flow through continuum gyrokinetic simulations of limiter biasing in the Texas Helimak

Journal Article Bernard, T. N. ; Stoltzfus-Dueck, T. ; Gentle, K. W. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Previous limiter-biasing experiments on the Texas Helimak, a simple magnetized torus, have been inconclusive on the effect of flow shear on turbulence levels. To explore this, the first gyrokinetic simulations of limiter biasing in the Helimak using the plasma physics code Gkeyll have been carried out, and results are presented here. For the scenarios considered, turbulence is mostly driven by the interchange instability, which depends on gradients of steady state density profiles. An analysis of both experimental and simulation data demonstrates that shear rates are mostly less than than local linear growth rates, and not all requirements for shear stabilizationmore »« less

L-mode validation studies of gyrokinetic turbulence simulations via multiscale and multifield turbulence measurements on the DIII-D tokamak

Journal Article Rhodes, T. L. ; Holland, C. ; Smith, S. P. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

A series of carefully designed experiments on DIII-D have taken advantage of a broad set of turbulence and profile diagnostics to rigorously test gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. In this paper the goals, tools and experiments performed in these validation studies are reviewed and specific examples presented. It is found that predictions of transport and fluctuation levels in the mid-core region (0.4 < ρ < 0.75) are in better agreement with experiment than those in the outer region (ρ ≥ 0.75) where edge coupling effects may become increasingly important and multiscale simulations may also be necessary. Validation studies such as these aremore »« less
