Nonlinear phase mixing and phase-space cascade of entropy in gyrokinetic plasma turbulence (2008)

Tatsuno, T., Dorland, W., Schekochihin, A. A., Plunk, G. G., Barnes, M., Cowley, S. C., ...

Electrostatic turbulence in weakly collisional, magnetized plasma can be interpreted as a cascade of entropy in phase space. This cascade is studied theoretically and numerically. It proceeds...

Linearized model Fokker-Planck collision operators for gyrokinetic simulations. II. Numerical implementation and tests (2008)

Barnes, M., Abel, I. G., Dorland, W., Ernst, D. R., Hammett, G. W., Ricci, P., ...

A set of key properties for an ideal dissipation scheme in gyrokinetic simulations is proposed, and implementation of a model collision operator satisfying these properties is described. This...

Linearized model Fokker-Planck collision operators for gyrokinetic simulations. I. Theory (2008)

Abel, I. G., Barnes, M., Cowley, S. C., Dorland, W., Schekochihin, A. A.

A new analytically and numerically manageable model collision operator is developed specifically for turbulence simulations. The like-particle collision operator includes both pitch-angle scattering...

Finite Larmor radius effects on non-diffusive tracer transport in a zonal flow (2008)

Gustafson, K., Dorland, W.

Finite Larmor radius (FLR) effects on non-diffusive transport in a prototypical zonal flow with drift waves are studied in the context of a simplified chaotic transport model. The model consists of a...

Gyrokinetic turbulence: a nonlinear route to dissipation through phase space (2008)

Schekochihin, A. A., Cowley, S. C., Dorland, W., Hammett, G. W., Howes, G. G., Plunk, G. G., ...

This paper describes a conceptual framework for understanding kinetic plasma turbulence as a generalized form of energy cascade in phase space. It is emphasized that conversion of turbulent energy...

Kinetic Simulations of Magnetized Turbulence in Astrophysical Plasmas (2007)

Howes, G. G., Dorland, W., Cowley, S. C., Hammett, G. W., Quataert, E., Schekochihin, A. A., ...

This letter presents the first ab initio, fully electromagnetic, kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in a homogeneous, weakly collisional plasma at the scale of the ion Larmor radius (ion...

M. A. Beer, G. W. Hammett, G. Rewoldt, E. J. Synakowski, M. C. Zarnstorff, W. Dorland

The confinement improvement in reversed-shear experiments on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor [Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 26, 11 (1984)] is investigated using nonlinear gyrofluid simulations...

Astrophysical gyrokinetics: kinetic and fluid turbulent cascades in magnetized weakly collisional plasmas (2007)

Schekochihin, A. A., Cowley, S. C., Dorland, W., Hammett, G. W., Howes, G. G., Quataert, E., ...

We present a theoretical framework for plasma turbulence in astrophysical plasmas (solar wind, interstellar medium, galaxy clusters, accretion disks). The key assumptions are that the turbulence is...
