Ion-scale turbulence in MAST: anomalous transport, subcritical transitions, and comparison to BES measurements

Ion-scale turbulence in MAST: anomalous transport, subcritical transitions, and comparison to BES measurements

We investigate the effect of varying the ion temperature gradient (ITG) and toroidal equilibrium scale sheared flow on ion-scale turbulence in the outer core of MAST by means of local gyrokinetic simulations. We show that nonlinear simulations reproduce the experimental ion heat flux and that the ex...
