The development of reduced models provide efficient methods that can be used to perform short term experimental data analysis or narrow down the parametric range of more …
In this paper we report on the implementation and verification of a phase-space resolved energetic particle (EP) transport model. It is based on a first-principle theoretical framework …
Gyrokinetic simulations of the fishbone instability in DIII-D tokamak plasmas find that self- generated zonal flows can dominate the nonlinear saturation by preventing coherent …
We have developed a new global eigenvalue code, multiscale analysis for plasma stabilities (MAS), for studying plasma problems with wave toroidal mode number (n) and frequency (ω) …
The accurate identification and control of plasma instabilities is important for successful fusion experiments. First-principle simulations that can provide physics-based instability …
This paper reports global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations that couple meso-scale reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes (RSAEs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) and ion temperature …
The motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic has been a standard measurement for the magnetic field line pitch angle in tokamaks that are equipped with neutral beams. However …
