2 Basics on Gyrokinetics Fusion plasmas weakly collisional (ITER: n*~n/t 2 ~10-3 ~ qr/ lpm ) F can depart from a Maxwellian kinetic description mandatory Gyro-freq. dj c /dt~10 8 >> Turb. freq.~10 5 j c can be safely "averaged out" phase-space reduction: 6D F(x,v //,m,j c,t) 4D+1D F G (x G,v //,m,t) particle gyrocenter Gyro-average operator J 1) Magnetic momentum m 2) Polarization Adiabatic invariant m=mv 2 /2B [Frieman-Chen, 1982, Littlejohn, 1983; Brizard-Hahm, 2007] Maxwell's eqs. on F requires relation F F G polarization density: n = n G + n pol Page 2
3 The semi-lagrangian GYSELA code Self-consistently coupled Gyrokinetic & Quasi-Neutral eqs: df Gs /dt = S + C(F Gs ) + D BC 4D advection Source Collisions Boundary Conditions L(f) = S s dv J s.f Gs [Grandgirard, CPC 2016] Peculiarities: global full-f boundary conditions multi-scale physics flux-driven steady-state on t E GYSELA Backward semi-lagrangian scheme: Trajectories (F G =Cst) followed backwards on fixed grid (weak noise, moderate dissip.) t F G =Cst r, v Page 3
4 Outline Physics upgrades numerical challenges present solutions & issues Boundary conditions: core (r=0) & scrape-off layer Kinetic electrons: Field aligned method & open issues Small scale physics: gyro-average operator & boundary issue Neoclassical transport: collision operator & parallelization issue Page 4
5 Removing Inner Boundary Condition: r = 0 Issue at r=0: divergence of metric (1/r) + too many q points Previously: r min >0 Dirichlet for f mn Neumann for f 00 Upgrade: Poisson (trick): r min =Dr/2 no BC required in r Vlasov: bilinear interpolation in 0<r<r min [Latu-Mehrenberger, 2016] Page 5
6 Towards Scrape-Off Layer physics r>a Coupling core (r/a<1) SOL (r/a>1) is important: H-mode, impurities & neutrals Critical challenges: close/open magnetic surfaces (periodicity; plasmasurface interaction) relative fluctuation levels particle sources/sinks Forced relaxation towards SOL-like profiles: df Gs /dt = S + C(F Gs ) - n (F Gs -F SOL ) [Dif-Pradalier, 2016] Smooth transition towards vanishing fluctuations Some evidence of SOL core interplay Possible alternatives: penalization and/or transition towards fluid description? Page 6
7 FT(f) Kinetic electrons & spurious w H modes Kinetic electrons mandatory: particle transport + trapped electron modes Electrostatic limit spurious "w H " modes: w H /w ci = (k // / k ) (m i /m e ) 1/2 [Lee 1987] Correspond to hydro-dynamical limit (w >> k // v th ) of ITG disp. rel. Also: electrostatic limit (b=0) of kinetic Alfvén wave [Scott 1997] Should disappear in electromagnetics (for b > (k r i ) 2 m e /m i ~ ) Trick: disappear when filtering out (m 0,n=0) modes in QN eq. [Idomura 2016] [Ehrlacher 2016] m i /m e = 1 m i /m e = 25 Filtering out m i /m e = 1 w H w H (m 0,n=0) modes in Quasi-Neutrality Frequency w/w ci Frequency w/w ci Frequency w/w ci Page 7

Fully kinetic electrons (trapped & passing) still out of reach on present HPC Electromagnetics cure electrostatic artifacts Trapped kinetic + heavy electrons Multi-scale physics requires accurate gyro-average operator Collisions mandatory BUT: complex (linearized) operator + parallelization issue!
