Fusion whole device modeling simulations require comprehensive models that are
simultaneously physically accurate, fast, robust, and predictive. In this paper we describe the …

JET has been unable to recover historical confinement levels when operating with an ITER-
like wall (ILW) due largely to the inaccessibility of high pedestal temperatures. Finding a …

To better understand the role of cross-scale coupling in experimental conditions, a series of
multi-scale gyrokinetic simulations were performed on Alcator C-Mod, L-mode plasmas …

Experimental conditions obtained on the DIII-D tokamak in the ITER Similar Shape (ISS)
have been compared extensively with nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation using the CGYRO …

Accurate prediction of fusion performance in present and future tokamaks requires taking
into account the strong interplay between core transport, pedestal structure, current profile …

Developing accurate models of plasma dynamics is essential for confident predictive
modeling of current and future fusion devices. In modern computer science and engineering …

Measurements of turbulent electron temperature fluctuation amplitudes, δ T e⊥/T e⁠,
frequency spectra, and radial correlation lengths, L r (T e⊥)⁠, have been performed at …

In this study, gyrokinetic simulations are used to study pedestal fluctuations for DIII-D
discharge 174082 using the GENE code. Nonlinear local simulations indicate that electron …

Energy transfer from electron-cyclotron (EC) waves to the plasma is being routinely used in
tokamaks to heat and drive current through the electron channel. Technical applications …

The first high fidelity gyrokinetic simulations of the energy losses in the transport barriers of
large tokamaks in pursuit of fusion gain are presented. These simulations calculate the …
