Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov (JFNK) methods are synergistic combinations of Newton-type
methods for superlinearly convergent solution of nonlinear equations and Krylov subspace …

A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

A blob-filament (or simply “blob”) is a magnetic-field-aligned plasma structure which is
considerably denser than the surrounding background plasma and highly localized in the …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

A new modular code called BOUT++ is presented, which simulates 3D fluid equations in
curvilinear coordinates. Although aimed at simulating Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) in …

The B2‐Eirene code package was developed to give better insight into the physics in the
scrape‐off layer (SOL), which is defined as the region of open field‐lines intersecting walls …

In this paper we review some theoretical aspects of the dynamics of the mesoscale filaments
extending along the magnetic field lines in the edge plasma, which are often called 'blobs' …

Based on the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, the Global Braginskii Solver, GBS, is able
to model the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma turbulence in terms of the interplay between the …

The two-dimensional (2D) radial vs poloidal structure of edge turbulence in the Alcator C-
Mod tokamak [IH Hutchinson, R. Boivin, PT Bonoli et al., Nucl. Fusion 41, 1391 (2001)] was …

A generalized, computationally tractable fluid model for capturing the effects of neutral
particles in plasmas is derived. The model derivation begins with Boltzmann equations for …
