Particle transport in ion and electron scale turbulence

Conference poster, 2012

This work deals with transport of main ions and impurities in micro turbulence driven by ion and electron temperature gradients, and trapped electrons. Results are obtained for both non- and quasi-linear simulations, using the gyrokinetic code GENE. Transport properties are quantified by the gradient of zero particle flux for steady state in source free regions. Results are compared with results obtained using a computationally efficient fluid model. Of particular interest are conditions of steep gradients, relevant to eg. transport barriers. Results from s–α geometry are compared with results with a JET-like magnetic equilibrium, and the effects on transport investigated. Further, the quality of He ash removal is studied.
