Gyrokinetic Simulation

The reduced kinetic theory used to simulate plasma micro-turbulence.

Gyrokinetics averages over the fast gyromotion to make turbulence simulation tractable, predicting transport from first principles. Kronos anchors its confinement to the empirical database, with gyrokinetics as a cross-check rather than a sole basis.

Gyrokinetics averages over the fast gyration to make turbulence simulation tractable, predicting transport from first principles. Kronos treats it as a cross-check rather than a foundation: its confinement targets are anchored to the empirical database, so the design does not stand or fall on turbulence modelling.
