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 presents a pedagogical review of the physics of mesoscopic transport events and
their role in the breakdown of Fick's Law for turbulent transport in magnetically confined …

The understanding and prediction of transport due to plasma microturbulence is a key open
problem in modern plasma physics, and a grand challenge for fusion energy research. Ab …

Multi-channel, nonlinear predictions of core temperature and density profiles are performed
for the SPARC tokamak (Creely et al 2020 J. Plasma Phys. 86 865860502) accounting for …

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 …

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 …

A global gyrokinetic toroidal full-f five-dimensional Vlasov simulation GT5D (Idomura et al
2008 Comput. Phys. Commun. 179 391) is extended including sources and collisions. Long …

Gyrokinetic field theory is addressed in the context of a general Hamiltonian. The
background magnetic geometry is static and axisymmetric and all dependence of the …

We show that a class of near-marginal and low-collisional magnetised plasmas naturally
evolve into a globally organised state dubbed the'$\mathbf {E}\times\mathbf {B} $ staircase' …

A series of carefully designed experiments on DIII-D have taken advantage of a broad set of
turbulence and profile diagnostics to rigorously test gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. In …
