GENE is a gyrokinetic turbulence code that simulates plasma behavior at very small scales comparable to the ion and electron gyroradius. The code was originally developed at the [[Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics]] | GENE is a gyrokinetic turbulence code that simulates plasma behavior at very small scales comparable to the ion and electron gyroradius. The code was originally developed at the [[Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics|IPP Max Planck]] in Garching, Germany, with the first version written by Frank Jenko in 1999 [1]. | ||
GENE is widely used in the international fusion research community and is considered one of the leading codes for plasma turbulence simulations. The code has been continuously developed by an international team of researchers and is designed to run on high-performance supercomputers. | GENE is widely used in the international fusion research community and is considered one of the leading codes for plasma turbulence simulations.
