Description

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract A new nonlinear gyro-kinetic flux tube code (GKW) for the simulation of micro instabilities and turbulence in magnetic confinement plasmas is presented in this paper. The code incorporates all physics effects that can be expected from a state of the art gyro-kinetic simulation code in the local limit: kinetic electrons, electromagnetic effects, collisions, full general geometry with a coupling to a MHD equilibrium code, and E × B shearing. In addition the physics of plasma rotation has been i...
