Description of the activity
Motivation.
In the context of analytical theory, the stabilizing role of impurities on Ion-Temperature-Gradient (ITG) driven instability has been known for decades, see e.g. [1], where the linear dispersion relation shows that the increase of the impurity concentration has a positive impact on the critical gradient of the toroidal ITG mode and its growth rate. Numerically, and on a quasi-linear fashion, in [2] the benign impact of increasing the effective charge, $Z_{\text{eff}}$, on ITG stability, albeit for the simplified geometry slab.
Proposal
In the present proposal the impact of impurities on the background turbulence will be studied.
