Researchers Involved: Wei-li Lee, Zihong Lin, Harry Mynick, Jeremy Kepner, Princeton; Julian Cummings, LANL; Bob Santoro, UC-Irvine; Viktor Decyk, UCLA; Minh Tran, Mathieu Fivas, Kurt Appert, EPFL-Switzerland; Scott Parker, Univ. of Colorado.
Currently the GET3D code (also known as "Orb") is 3D nonlinear delta-f code solving the gyrokinetic equations in toroidal geometry. Features include multiple ion species (thanks to Bob), self-generated shear flows (thanks to Julian) self-consistant radial force balance (grad p and toroidal shear flows), numerically calculated realistic magnetic equilibria, plust particle loading (thanks to the Swiss), and a fairly well optimized domain decomp using PVM (thank to Viktor, Jeremy and Minh).
