Simulations to test different smoothing algorithms are submitted on FRANKLIN

Two new cases are submitted on FRANKLIN in order to investigate different settings for smoothing.

  • Case XGC-208 is based on the case XGC-206, except of fm_nsmooth_chi that is increased from 1 to 2.
  • Case XGC-209 is submitted to test new procedure to smooth the radial electric field profiles. In addition to the parameter fm_nsmooth that is kept 1 (as in the previous cases), the following settings are used:

fm_nsmooth_er = 4 ! number of smoothing for radial electric field in the core refion
fm_smooth_er_rhob = 0.95 ! rho where transition between different level of smoothing is applied
fm_smooth_er_coef = 75. ! coefficient that controls sharpness of transition between different level of smoothness for Er
fm_nsmooth_chi = 2 ! number of applications of diffusivity smoothing in fmcfm_call
