GYRO: A 5-D Gyrokinetic-Maxwell Solver (2004)

by M. Fahey. J. Candy.

5D Eulerian gyrokinetic-Maxwell (GKM) solver developed by Jeff Candy and Ron Waltz at General Atomics • Computes the turbulent radial transport of particles and energy in tokamak plasmas • Electron parallel motion treated implicitly, and other dynamics explicitly, using Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta time-integration scheme – Discretized on an Eulerian grid • Only GKM code with both global and electromagnetic capabilities – Radially global: able to accomodate arbitrary profile variation...
