Continuous-in-time approach to flow shear in a linearly implicit local δf gyrokinetic code

A new algorithm for toroidal flow shear in a linearly implicit, local δf gyrokinetic code is described. Unlike the current approach followed by a number of codes, it treats flow shear continuously in time. In the linear gyrokinetic equation, time-dependences arising from the presence of flow shear...
