GTROTA: A code for the solution of the coupled nonlinear extended neoclassical rotation equations in tokamak plasmas using successive over-relaxation and simulated annealing

摘要

GTROTA (Georgia Tech ROTAtion) is a code that solves the extended neoclassical rotation equations for tokamak plasmas, derived from the multifluid moment equations (including electromagnetic effects) in generalized toroidal magnetic flux surface geometry. It computes the toroidal and poloidal fluid rotation velocities and the in-out and up-down density asymmetries at each radial location. The solution of these equations is accomplished iteratively, using a physically motivated decomposition, successive over-relaxation and the concept of simulated annealing.
