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 …

Experimental drift turbulence and zonal flow studies in magnetically confined plasma
experiments are reviewed. The origins of drift waves, transition to drift turbulence and drift …

METIS is a numerical code aiming at fast full tokamak plasma analyses and predictions. It
combines 0D scaling-law normalised heat and particle transport with 1D current diffusion …

Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) based on the tokamak approach with
superconducting magnet technology is envisioned to provide 200-MW fusion power and …

SPARC is designed to be a high-field, medium-size tokamak aimed at achieving net energy
gain with ion cyclotron range-of-frequencies (ICRF) as its primary auxiliary heating …

An overview of the physics of intrinsic torque is presented, with special emphasis on the
phenomenology of intrinsic toroidal rotation in tokamaks, its theoretical understanding, and …

Recent results in the theory of turbulent momentum transport and the origins of intrinsic
rotation are summarized. Special attention is focused on aspects of momentum transport …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …

A global gyrokinetic toroidal full-f five-dimensional Vlasov simulation GT5D (Idomura et al
2008 Comput. Phys. Commun. 179 391) is extended including sources and collisions. Long …

The sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas results in a periodic reorganization of the core
plasma. A typical sawtooth cycle consists of a quiescent period, during which the plasma …
