Progress of full-f gyrokinetic simulations including a new hybrid kinetic electron model

Idomura, Yasuhiro

A Gyrokinetic Toroidal 5D full-f Eulerian code GT5D is extended including a new hybrid kinetic electron model, which enables us to address ITER relevant issues related to electron turbulence. In this talk, physics backgrounds and computational properties of the new hybrid kinetic electron model are discussed, and applications of the model to ITER relevant issues such as the isotope effect of turbulent plasma transport and the plasma rotation change induced by electron heating are presented. These simulation studies show that electron turbulence plays a critical role in ITER, and thus, the new hybrid kinetic electron model is essential for analyzing the performance of core plasmas in ITER.
