Algorithmic improvements in the Trinity, GS2, Gryffin, AstroGK(S) suite of codes
POSTER
Abstract
We present an overview of major upgrades to the family of gyrokinetic codes that includes... {\bf Trinity:} Time-dependent gyrokinetic transport, integrated with numerous gyrokinetic turbulence and stability codes, including Gryffin (below). {\bf GS2:} Widely used gyrokinetic turbulence and stability code. {\bf Gryffin:} Gyrofluid turbulence and stability code, with new closure to model the effects of the nonlinear cascade of free energy on low-order fluid moments. {\bf AstroGK(S):} Gyrokinetic turbulence code derived from GS2; toroidal geometry removed to accelerate development and applications for non-toroidal systems (such as the solar wind). The fully spectral version (AstroGKS) will be presented in some detail.
