Title 347: Magnetic shear dependence of low, intermediate and high k turbulence and GK simulation predictions
Name:Terry L. Rhodes () Affiliation:University of California, Los Angeles
Research Area:Transport Model Validation Presentation time: Requested
Co-Author(s): Peebles, Holland, Schmitz, McKee, Wang
Description: Both analytic and numerical results indicate an increase in ETG turbulence levels as the magnetic shear is increased. Analytic growth rate calculations show ITG growth rates decreasing with increasing shear. Analytic TEM growth rates appear to be insensitive to the magnetic shear. By varying the shear and keeping the other important drive parameters roughly constant (the difficult part!) we will determine if these predictions hold up. Compare results to theory and simulation (e.g. GYRO, GS2, ..).
