EUTERPE: Difference between revisions

The EUTERPE gyrokinetic code was created at the EPFL in Lausanne as a global linear particle in cell code for studying electrostatic plasma instabilities <ref>[G. Jost, T. M. Tran, K. Appert, et. al. in Theory of Fusion Plasmas, International Workshop, Varenna, September 1998. Editrice Compositori, Società Italiana di Fisica, Bologna, 1999, p.419]</ref>. It allows three-dimensional turbulence simulations using a plasma equilibrium calculated with the VMEC code as a starting point. EUTERPE was further developed at the Max Planck IPP and several linear calculations of ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven turbulence in [[Tokamak|tokamak]] and [[Stellarator|stellarator]] geometry have been carried out using it
