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 …

Nonlinear gyrokinetics is the major formalism used for both the analytical and numerical
descriptions of low-frequency microturbulence in magnetized plasmas. Its derivation from …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Magnetic confinement fusion offers the promise of sustainable and safe energy production
on Earth. Advanced experimental scenarios exploit the fascinating yet uncommon ability of …

The current state of the EUTERPE code is described with emphasis on the implemented
models and their numerical implementation. The code solves the multi-species …

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 …

The scaling of turbulence-driven heat transport with system size in magnetically confined
plasmas is reexamined using first-principles based numerical simulations. Two very different …

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' …
