Fusion energy offers the potential for a near limitless source of low-carbon energy and is oftenregarded as a solution for the world’s long-term energy needs. To realise such a scenario requiresthe design of high-performance fusion reactors capable of maintaining the extreme conditionsnecessary to enable fusion. Turbulence …

We present the results of GENE gyrokinetic calculations based on a series of JET-ILW type I ELMy H-mode discharges operating with similar experimental inputsbut at different levels of power and gas fuelling. We show that turbulence due to slab electron-temperature-gradient modes (sETGs) produces a significant amount of heat flux in four JET-ILW …

Ion-gyroradius-scale microinstabilities typically have a frequency comparable to the ion transit frequency. Hence, it is conventionally assumed that passing electrons respond adiabatically in ion-gyroradius-scale modes, due to the small electron-to-ion mass ratio and the large electron transit frequency. However, in gyrokinetic simulations of io…

Local linear gyrokinetic simulations show that electron temperature gradient (ETG) instabilities are the fastest growing modes for kyρi >~ 0.1 in the steep gradient region for a JET pedestal discharge (92174) where the electron temperature gradient is steeper than the ion temperature gradient. Here, ky is the wa…
