This overview is an assessment of the gyrokinetic framework and simulations to compute
turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. It covers an introduction to the gyrokinetic theory, the …

This paper addresses non-linear gyrokinetic simulations of ion temperature gradient (ITG)
turbulence in tokamak plasmas. The electrostatic GYSELA code is one of the few …

This paper presents the current state of the global gyrokinetic code Orb 5 as an update of the
previous reference (Jolliet et al., 2007). The Orb 5 code solves the electromagnetic Vlasov …

A global plasma turbulence simulation code, ORB5, is presented. It solves the gyrokinetic
electrostatic equations including zonal flows in axisymmetric magnetic geometry. The …

The current state of the EUTERPE code is described with emphasis on the implemented
models and their numerical implementation. The code solves the multi-species …

A new conservative global gyrokinetic toroidal full-f five-dimensional Vlasov simulation
(GT5D) is developed using a novel non-dissipative conservative finite difference scheme …

It is found from a heat-flux-driven full-f gyrokinetic particle simulation that there is ion
temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence across an entire L-mode-like edge density pedestal in …

Critical physical issues can be specifically tackled with the global full-f gyrokinetic code
GYSELA. Three main results are presented. First, the self-consistent treatment of equilibrium …

Long simulations are needed to reach a quasiequilibrium state in global gyrokinetic models
of ion temperature gradient ITG turbulence, even when global profiles of flow and …

Understanding and predicting turbulence in the edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) is critical for
the optimization of magnetic confinement fusion devices. While there has been progress …
