Electromagnetic turbulence simulations of the tokamak scrape-off layer

Halpern, Federico David
2015
Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing Conference

We present the newest version of the Global Braginskii Solver (GBS), which addresses tokamak boundary turbulence. GBS now employs a 3D cartesian communicator and a parallel multigrid Poisson/Ampere solver, achieving excellent parallel scalability, and it is being ported to manycore and hybrid architectures. We discuss two new capabilities resulting from improved algorithms: (a) the inclusion of electromagnetic fluctuations at realistic plasma size, and (b) a non-Boussinesq Poisson operator for the electrostatic potential. Simulations of the turbulent plasma dynamics are benchmarked against state-of-the-art imaging diagnostics in tomakak experiments, showing remarkable agreement in many observables.
