Numerical calculation of neoclassical distribution functions and current profiles in low collisionality, axisymmetric plasmas
BC Lyons, SC Jardin, JJ Ramos - Physics of Plasmas, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
A new code, the Neoclassical Ion-Electron Solver (NIES), has been written to solve for
stationary, axisymmetric distribution functions (f) in the conventional banana regime for both
ions and electrons using a set of drift-kinetic equations (DKEs) with linearized Fokker-Planck-
Landau collision operators. Solvability conditions on the DKEs determine the relevant non-
adiabatic pieces of f (called h). We work in a 4D phase space in which ψ defines a flux
surface, θ is the poloidal angle, v is the magnitude of the velocity referenced to the mean …
