Application of the Gyrokinetic Turbulence Code GENE-X on TCV — •Philipp Ulbl1, Dominik Michels1, and Frank Jenko1,2 — 1Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Boltzmannstraße 2, 85748 Garching, Germany — 2University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA
Turbulence in the edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) of magnetic confinement fusion devices is a complicated phenomenon whose understanding remains a central task on the way to optimized fusion reactors. Recent progress along these lines has been made with the development of the novel gyrokinetic turbulence code GENE-X [1]. In this work, we apply GENE-X to the validation case "TCV-X21" [2], studying the evolution of plasma profiles such as density, electron- and ion temperature. Further we compare the results to collisional simulations assessing the effect of collisions on edge and SOL turbulence.
