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 …

Magnetic-fusion plasmas are complex self-organized systems with an extremely wide range
of spatial and temporal scales, from the electron-orbit scales (∼ 10− 11 s,∼ 10− 5 m) to the …

Nonlinear electromagnetic stabilization by suprathermal pressure gradients found in specific
regimes is shown to be a key factor in reducing tokamak microturbulence, augmenting …

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 …

This paper presents a novel recognition framework which is based on matching shock
graphs of 2D shape outlines, where the distance between two shapes is defined to be the …

This paper compares the gyrokinetic instabilities and transport in two representative JET
pedestals, one (pulse 78697) from the JET configuration with a carbon wall (C) and another …

JET has been unable to recover historical confinement levels when operating with an ITER-
like wall (ILW) due largely to the inaccessibility of high pedestal temperatures. Finding a …

The nature of the turbulent transport in the edge region of ASDEX Upgrade and JET-ILW
deuterium (D) and hydrogen (H) L-mode plasmas is studied using local gyro-kinetic …

Previous nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of specific DIII-D L-mode cases have been found
to significantly underpredict the ion heat transport and associated density and temperature …
