Title: Comparison of Linear Microinstability Calculations of Varying Input Realism

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/814791· OSTI ID:814791

The effect of varying ''input realism'' or varying completeness of the input data for linear microinstability calculations, in particular on the critical value of the ion temperature gradient for the ion temperature gradient mode, is investigated using gyrokinetic and gyrofluid approaches. The calculations show that varying input realism can have a substantial quantitative effect on the results.
