• Numerical computations of turbulent motions in magnetized plasmas 

      Decristoforo, Gregor (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      Intermittent fluctuations and turbulence-induced transport of magnetically confined fusion plasmas are investigated by numerical computations. A reduced fluid model describing the evolution of plasma pressure and electric drift vorticity in a two-dimensional plane perpendicular to the magnetic field is derived. A numerical simulation code implemented on graphical processing units is presented. We ...
