Conceptualization of an EM-upgrade for the gyrokinetic full-f code picls — •Annika Stier and Alberto Bottino — IPP, Garching, Germany

The gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code picls is a full-f finite element tool to simulate turbulence in the tokamak scrape-off layer. Up until now however, picls is a purely electrostatic code with a constant background magnetic field. In order to adequately model the phenomena of the scrape-off layer, taking into account electromagnetic effects is a necessity. To this end, the contribution at hand identifies due changes in the theoretical foundation of picls and proposes suitable modifications in its field solver and particle pusher stages.
