Nonlinear Global Gyrokinetic PIC DIII-D Test Cases

• Comments:
  • Time evolution of the thermal diffusivity for
    the DIII-D base case(81499) and plus/minus 30 percent gradients
  • Circular, no impurities and adiabatic electrons
  • Flow shear effects (m/n=0/0) included
  • Strongest gradient case () most likely has
    too large of a time step
  • 32 million particles and minor radius
