A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

Nonlinear gyrokinetic equations play a fundamental role in our understanding of the long-

This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding plasma turbulence in
astrophysical plasmas. It is motivated by observations of electromagnetic and density …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

In this report we present a time-explicit, Eulerian numerical scheme for the solution of the
nonlinear gyrokinetic-Maxwell equations. The treatment of electrons is fully drift-kinetic …

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

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 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 …

We describe a new approach to solve the electromagnetic gyrokinetic equations which is
optimized for accurate treatment of multispecies Fokker–Planck collisions including both …

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 …
