Gyrokinetic turbulence simulations with fully kinetic electrons

It is now possible to include kinetic electron physics in low-beta gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasma turbulence. These are three-dimensional (3-D) toroidal simulations using gyrokinetic ions and drift-kinetic electrons. Including electrons increases the linear growth rate and nonlinear energy transport for typical H-mode parameters. Here, we briefly discuss our results and low-cost high-performance stereoscopic visualization techniques for analyzing the large-scale 3-D gyrokinetic turbulence simulation data.
