Pseudo-spectral methods are widely used for direct numerical simulations of turbulence, but the standard 2/3 truncation rule for dealiasing is computationally expensive -- accounting for up to 80% of the total cost in three dimensions.…
One of the key approximations to range simulation is downscaling the image, dictated by the natural trigonometric relationships that arise due to long-distance viewing. It is well-known that standard downsampling applied to an image without…
Boundary plasma physics plays an important role in tokamak confinement, but is difficult to simulate in a gyrokinetic code due to the scale-inseparable nonlocal multi-physics in magnetic separatrix and open magnetic field geometry. Neutral…
In magnetically confined plasmas used in Tokamak, turbulence is responsible for specific transport that limits the performance of this kind of reactors. Gyrokinetic simulations are able to capture ion and electron turbulence that give rise…
A full-F, isothermal, electromagnetic, gyro-fluid model is used to simulate plasma turbulence in a COMPASS-sized, diverted tokamak. A parameter scan covering three orders of magnitude of plasma resistivity and two values for the ion to…
A set of key properties for an ideal dissipation scheme in gyrokinetic simulations is proposed, and implementation of a model collision operator satisfying these properties is described. This operator is based on the exact linearized…
The piece-wise parabolic method (PPM) is applied to simulations of forced isotropic turbulence with Mach numbers $\sim 0.1... 1$. The equation of state is dominated by the Fermi pressure of an electron-degenerate fluid. The dissipation in…
In the context of global gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence using a Particle-In-Cell framework, verifying the delta-f assumption with a fixed background distribution becomes challenging when determining quasi-steady state profiles…
Plasma turbulence is ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, playing an important role in plasma energization, but the physical mechanisms leading to dissipation of the turbulent energy remain to be definitively identified. Kinetic…
Raster images can have a range of various distortions connected to their raster structure. Upsampling them might in effect substantially yield the raster structure of the original image, known as aliasing. The upsampling itself may…
Avoiding aliasing in time-resolved flow data obtained through high fidelity simulations while keeping the computational and storage costs at acceptable levels is often a challenge. Well-established solutions such as increasing the sampling…
Fractal decimation reduces the effective dimensionality of a flow by keeping only a (randomly chosen) set of Fourier modes whose number in a ball of radius $k$ is proportional to $k^D$ for large $k$. At the critical dimension D=4/3 there is…
Gyrokinetic simulations have greatly improved our theoretical understanding of turbulent transport in fusion devices. Most gyrokinetic models in use are delta-f simulations in which the slowly varying radial profiles of density and…
The simulation of large nonlinear dynamical systems, including systems generated by discretization of hyperbolic partial differential equations, can be computationally demanding. Such systems are important in both fluid and kinetic…
With the advent of the gyrokinetic formalism, recent developments in low-noise nonlinear $\delta f$ methods, and enormous gains in computing power, large-scale gyrokinetic simulations have become an important tool for improved understanding…
A challenging and fundamental research problem is the better understanding and control of the turbulent transport of heat in present-day tokamak fusion experiments. Recent developments in numerical methods along with enormous gains in…
The simulation of turbulence in the boundary region of a tokamak is crucial for understanding and optimizing the performance of fusion reactors. In this work, the use of low-rank linear algebra techniques is shown to enhance the efficiency…
When Fourier series are used for applications in physics, involving partial differential equations, sometimes the process of resolution results in divergent series for some quantities. In this paper we argue that the use of linear low-pass…
For large Reynolds number flows, it is typically necessary to perform simulations that are under-resolved with respect to the underlying flow physics. For nodal discontinuous spectral element approximations of these under-resolved flows,…
We consider image denoising using a nonlinear diffusion process, where we solve unsteady partial differential equations with nonlinear coefficients. The noised image is given as an initial condition, and nonlinear coefficients are used to…
