The global nonlinear electrostatic PIC code ORB5 solves the gyrokinetic Vlasov-Poisson system assuming adiabatic electrons in realistic tokamak magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria. The present version of ORB5 shows remarkable particle and energy conservation properties and can be used for physics studies in toroidal geometry. In particular, the optimized tracer loading method has been adapted to tokamak geometry and implemented in ORB5 together with a new adaptive gyro-average algorithm. Basic physical conservation properties (energy and particle number) are used as indicators of the quality of the numerical simulations. In this paper we present the first nonlinear results of electrostatic collisionless microinstabilities of realistic MHD shaped equilibria, provided by the MHD equilibrium code CHEASE, including the toroidicity induced geometrical coupling of the zonal ExB flow and the parallel velocity nonlinearlity.

Power and particle control is challenging for standard D-shaped H-mode scenario in tokamak. Possibility of negative triangularity as innovative tokamak concept is discussed by Kikuchi et al. Experimental and numerical studies of negative triangular plasma at CRPP-EPFL success-fully demonstrated improved connement and the weakening of the SOL flow acceleration is implied for the negative triangularity. Recent studies on mechanism of type II and grassy ELM show importance of closure of second stability access to achieve small ELM regimes and also kinetic effects. Medvedev showed that closure of second stability also occurs for negative triangularity. But the MHD stability in negative triangularity is a bit more complicated so that closure of second stability does not imply easy access to small ELM regimes. We discuss critical elements behind.

This talk reviews outcomes from GT5DISO projects, which was conducted for FY2014-2016. In this project, isotope effects on turbulent transport have been studied using the gyrokinetic toroidal five dimensional full-f Eulerian code GT5D. In FY2014, it was shown that the ion temperature gradient driven (ITG) turbulence with adiabatic electrons does not show isotope effects, and the trapped electron mode (TEM) driven by kinetic trapped electrons is essential for this issue. In FY2015, a new hybrid kinetic electron model was developed in GT5D, and its verification tests for ITG-TEM turbulence simulations were conducted. In FY2016, the kinetic electron model was validated against electron heating modulation experiments, in which the TEM turbulence plays key roles in particle and momentum transport. Finally, we performed isotope scan of ITG-TEM turbulence simulations, which tend to indicate difference of confinement between hydrogen and deuterium plasmas.
