Gyrokinetic turbulence: between idealized estimates and a detailed analysis of nonlinear energy transfers

Using large resolution numerical simulations of gyrokinetic (GK) turbulence, spanning an interval ranging from the end of the fluid scales to the electron gyroradius, we study the energy transfers in the perpendicular direction for a proton–electron plasma in a slab equilibrium magnetic geometry. Th...
