Geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) are ubiquitous oscillatory flow phenomena observed in
toroidal magnetic confinement fusion plasmas, such as tokamaks and stellarators. They are …

Drift waves occur universally in magnetized plasmas producing the dominant mechanism for
the transport of particles, energy and momentum across magnetic field lines. A wealth of …

Collisionless electron-temperature-gradient-driven (ETG) turbulence in toroidal geometry is
studied via nonlinear numerical simulations. To this aim, two massively parallel, fully …

Strongly correlated quantum systems are among the most intriguing and fundamental
systems in physics. One such example is the Tonks–Girardeau gas,, proposed about 40 …

A review of the present status of the theory of magnetic reconnection is given. In strongly
collisional plasmas reconnection proceeds via resistive current sheets, ie quasi-stationary …

The predictions of gyrokinetic and gyrofluid simulations of ion-temperature-gradient (ITG)
instability and turbulence in tokamak plasmas as well as some tokamak plasma thermal …

The understanding and prediction of transport due to plasma microturbulence is a key open
problem in modern plasma physics, and a grand challenge for fusion energy research. Ab …

This overview is an assessment of the gyrokinetic framework and simulations to compute
turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. It covers an introduction to the gyrokinetic theory, the …

The first toroidal, gyrokinetic, electromagnetic simulations of small scale plasma turbulence
are presented. The turbulence considered is driven by gradients in the electron temperature …

The physics of magnetically confined plasmas has had much of its development as part of
the program to develop fusion energy and is an important element in the study of space and …
