TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of gyrokinetic and gyrofluid simulations of ion-temperature gradient (ITG)instability and turbulence in tokamak plasmas as well as some tokak plasma thermal transportmodels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of initial value and eigenvalue codes for kinetic toroidal plasma instabilities
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between comprehensive linear gyrokinetic calculations employing the ballooning formalism for high-n (toroidal mode number) toroidal instabilities are described.

R. E. Waltz,G. M. Staebler,William Dorland,William Dorland,Gregory W. Hammett,Gregory W. Hammett,Mike Kotschenreuther,J. A. Konings +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a physically comprehensive and theoretically based transport model tuned to three-dimensional (3-D) ballooning mode gyrokinetic instabilities and gyrofluid nonlinear turbulence simulations is formulated with global and local magnetic shear stabilization and E×B rotational shear stabilisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative predictions of tokamak energy confinement from first‐principles simulations with kinetic effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a first-principles model of anomalous thermal transport based on numerical simulations is presented, with stringent comparisons to experimental data from the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored novel concepts for fusion chamber technology that can substantially improve the attractiveness of fusion energy systems, including the potential for: (1) high power density capability; (2) higher plasma β and stable physics regimes if liquid metals are used; (3) increased disruption survivability; (4) reduced volume of radioactive waste; (5) reduced radiation damage in structural materials; and (6) higher availability.
