Exploring spectral energy transfer in non-linear gyrokinetic simulations and experiment.

我现在加入聚变CDT研究托卡马克等离子体中的湍流。我的项目将由大卫·迪金森博士和伊什特万·齐格勒博士监督。等离子体湍流的作用是降低托卡马克中粒子和能量的约束。更糟糕的限制导致需要更大，更昂贵的反应堆，降低了聚变发电的效率和经济可行性。因此，了解湍流传输如何产生以及如何控制它至关重要。研究高温磁化等离子体中湍流的主要工具是非线性陀螺动力学模拟。我的项目将涉及开发分析工具的gyrokinetic代码GS 2探索光谱能量转移的结构。希望这些工具将有助于解释现有的湍流诊断，并为未来的实验工作提供信息。

I'm now joining the Fusion CDT to work on turbulence in tokamak plasmas. My project will be supervised by Dr David Dickinson and Dr István Cziegler.Plasma turbulence acts to degrade the confinement of particles and energy in tokamaks. Worse confinement leads to the need for larger, more expensive reactors, reducing the efficiency and economic viability of fusion-produced electricity. It's therefore crucial to understand how turbulent transport arises and how it can be controlled. The primary tools for studying turbulence in hot, magnetised plasmas are non-linear gyrokinetic simulations. My project will involve developing analysis tools for the gyrokinetic code GS2 to explore the structure of spectral energy transfer. It is hoped that these tools will aid the interpretation of existing turbulence diagnostics and inform future experimental efforts.
