Continuing (out of cycle) Project
Center for Gyrokinetic Particle Simulations of Turbulent Transport in Burning
Plasmas
The Center for Gyrokinetic Particle Simulations of Turbulent Transport in Burning
Plasmas project is a consortium formed in 2004. The goal of this project is to develop gyrokinetic
particle simulation codes to carry out simulations of turbulent transport to
investigate plasma confinement properties of burning plasmas, such as the
International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER). Ultimately the project aims to be able
to effectively carry out multiscale integrated simulations (both in time and space) of
fusion plasmas using the gyrokinetic particle approach.
