New two short simulations to test smoothing are submitted


New short XGC-0 simulations are submitted on FRANKLIN in the debug mode. The case XGC-210 is based on the case XGC-209. The case XGC-211 uses modified source code where smoothing for the radial electric field is done for three neighboring grid points instead of one (as in the case XGC-210).

IF ( fm_nsmooth_er > 0 ) THEN
  DO i=1, fm_nsmooth_er
    CALL smoothb0( z_e_radial, diag_flow_npsi, 3 )
  ENDDO
ENDIF

The radial electric field profiles as well as flow shear rates are significantly smoother comparing to the case where is smoothing is done over one neighboring grid point.

Results that use the same smoothing in the plasma core, but use averaging over one neighboring points are given below for comparison.
