Parallel filtering in global gyrokinetic simulations

In this work, a Fourier solver [B.F. McMillan, S. Jolliet, A. Bottino, P. Angelino, T.M. Tran, L. Villard, Comp. Phys. Commun. 181 (2010) 715] is implemented in the global Eulerian gyrokinetic code GT5D [Y. Idomura, H. Urano, N. Aiba, S. Tokuda, Nucl. Fusion 49 (2009) 065029] and in the global Particle-In-Cell code ORB5 [S. Jolliet, A. Bottino, P. Angelino, R. Hatzky, T.M. Tran, B.F. McMillan, O. Sauter, K. Appert, Y. Idomura, L. Villard, Comp. Phys. Commun. 177 (2007) 409] in order to reduce the memory of the matrix associated with the field equation. This scheme is verified with linear and nonlinear simulations of turbulence. It is demonstrated that the straight-field-line angle is the coordinate that optimizes the Fourier solver, that both linear and nonlinear turbulent states are unaffected by the parallel filtering, and that the k_∥ spectrum is independent of plasma size at fixed normalized poloidal wave number.
