Abstract:Linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations are performed in experimentally relevant scenarios built from a MAST case where a microtearing mode instability dominates at ion Larmor radius scale (these microtearing modes are only weakly unstable and nonlinear simulations indicate they do not cause an experimentally significant level of transport across the chosen surface). This collisional microtearing mode instability appears only when a velocity dependent electron collision frequency is considered. Electrosta… Show more
