Composition of electron temperature gradient driven plasma turbulence in JET-ILW tokamak plasmas by B. Chapman-Oplopoiou, J. Walker, D. R. Hatch, T. Görler, JET contributors

“…By artificially removing the toroidal drifts from our gyrokinetic turbulence simulations, we demonstrate that the high gas pulse has a substantial component from the toroidal branch of ETG turbulence whilst the low gas pulse is completely driven by slab ETG turbulence. …”

Vibration Feedforward Compensation for Magnetically Suspended Control and Sensitive Gyroscope with Spherical Rotor by Qiang Liu, Heng Li, Cong Peng, Sha Sheng, Zhaojing Yin, Zhiguo Liu

“…The magnetic bearing-rotor dynamic model is established based on Newton’s second law and the gyrokinetic equations. The generating mechanism of three interferences, including bearing dynamic reaction force, deflection torque, and centrifugal force, is analyzed. …”

Understanding the formation of a low-pressure pedestal in the presence of a strong internal transport barrier in DIII-D high βp plasmas by X.R. Zhang, X. Jian, Y.R. Zhu, Y.P. Zou, Z.Y. Li, Y.J. Zhou, L.Z. Liu, S. Zheng, Z.X. Wang, W. Chen, S.Y. Ding, A.M. Garofalo, V.S. Chan, G.Q. Li

“…It is found that the strong ITB creates an off-axis bootstrap current to clamp the local safety factor q , and thus the magnetic shear in the outer core/pedestal region is increased. Gyrokinetic simulations with the CGYRO code show that the higher magnetic shear brings the experimental profiles into the range where the growth rate of drift-wave instabilities and thus transport is higher, and therefore a lower pedestal gradient is expected. …”
