Self-consistent full-size turbulent-transport simulations of the divertor and scrape-off-layer
(SOL) of existing tokamaks have recently become feasible. This enables the direct …

Understanding and predicting plasma turbulence in the scrape-off layer of a magnetic
confinement fusion device is a key open problem in modern plasma physics. The transitional …

Understanding and predicting turbulent transport in the edge and scrape-off-layer (SOL) of
magnetic confinement fusion devices is crucial for developing feasible fusion power plants …

Long global gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are particularly challenging in situations
where the system deviates strongly from its initial state and when fluctuation levels are high …

Two-fluid Braginskii codes have simulated open-field line turbulence for over a decade, and
only recently, it has become possible to study these systems with continuum gyrokinetic …

We present the first-of-its-kind coupling of a continuum full-f gyrokinetic turbulence model
with a 6D continuum model for kinetic neutrals, carried out using the Gkeyll code. Our …

A key uncertainty in the design and development of magnetic confinement fusion energy
reactors is predicting edge plasma turbulence. An essential step in overcoming this …

Over the past decades, multiple gyrokinetic codes have shown to be able to simulate
turbulence and associated transport in the core of Tokamak devices. However, their …

This paper presents the first gyrokinetic (GK) simulations of edge and scrape-off layer (SOL)
turbulence accelerated by a velocity-space spectral approach in the full-f GK code GENE-X …

We introduce and derive the Fourier-enhanced 3D electrostatic field solver of the gyrokinetic
full-f PIC code PICLS. The solver makes use of a Fourier representation in one periodic …
