Outline of Final Research Achievements

The formation of internal transport barrier, which acts as the shielding layer of particle and heat transport by suppressing turbulence, has a crucial key to achieve high-performance plasma confinement. In this study, by introducing more realistic electron model to our first-principle code GKNET, we evaluated the impact of electron dynamics on internal transport barrier formation. We found that internal transport barrier is formed without external momentum injection by selectively exciting turbulence related to electron dynamics. This is the first report for spontaneous formation in the world.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、加熱方法などによって電子ダイナミックスが関与した乱流を制御することで、内部輸送障壁が自発形成可能であること示唆しており、核融合プラズマの高性能化に資する研究である。
また本研究では、大規模シミュレーションのための高効率並列化手法の開発や、特異点近傍における保存性を担保した数値計算スキームの開発なども行っており、数値計算分野に対しても貢献を行った。
