Global linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic modelling of Alfven eigenmodes in ITER

T. Hayward-Schneider et al.

Summary: Linear and nonlinear modelling of Alfvenic instabilities, particularly toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs), show that odd-parity TAEs are driven by alpha particles, while low mode number TAEs require global treatment. Multi-mode simulations predict that enhanced saturation and significant EP redistribution will occur with double the nominal EP density.

Tokamak ITG-KBM transition benchmarking with the mixed variables/pullback transformation electromagnetic gyrokinetic scheme

M. D. J. Cole et al.

Summary: In this paper, global gyrokinetic simulation of the ion temperature gradient-driven mode-kinetic ballooning mode transition in a toroidal fusion plasma test case was successfully demonstrated using the MV/PT scheme with the particle-in-cell codes XGC and ORB5. The MV/PT scheme combines explicit time integration with mitigation of the electromagnetic gyrokinetic cancelation problem, showing good agreement with results from a conventional continuum code.

Gyrokinetic investigation of Alfven instabilities in the presence of turbulence

A. Biancalani et al.

Summary: Nonlinear dynamics of beta-induced Alfven eigenmodes (BAEs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) in the presence of ion-temperature-gradient turbulence were investigated through selfconsistent global gyrokinetic simulations and analytical theory. It was found that EPs modify heat fluxes by introducing energy at large spatial scales, mainly at the toroidal mode number of the dominant BAE and its harmonics. The study also discussed the feedback of global relaxation in temperature profiles induced by BAEs and on turbulence dynamics.
