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 …

A pedagogical review of the historical development and current status (as of early 2000) of
systematic statistical theories of plasma turbulence is undertaken. Emphasis is on …

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 …

Astrophysical observations originate from matter that interacts with radiation or transported
particles. We develop a pragmatic approximation in order to enable multidimensional …

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

An intriguing observation in magnetically confined plasma experiments and in global
gyrokinetic particle simulations of toroidal ion temperature gradient turbulence is that the …

A Fokker–Planck based particle Monte Carlo algorithm was devised recently for simulations
of rarefied gas flows by the authors [1],[2],[3]. The main motivation behind the Fokker–Planck …

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 …

This paper is devoted to the algorithmic improvement and careful analysis of the Fokker–
Planck kinetic model derived by Jenny et al.[1] and Gorji et al.[2]. The motivation behind the …

A global nonlinear simulation code for the time evolution of ion-temperature-gradient-driven
modes in θ-pinch geometry as a first approximation to the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7 …
