Abstract [en]
Turbulent transport is a decisive factor in determining the pedestal structure of H-modes. Here, we present the first comprehensive characterization of gyrokinetic turbulent transport in a JET hybrid H-mode pedestal. Local, linear simulations are performed to identify instabilities and global, nonlinear electromagnetic simulations reveal the turbulent heat and particle flux structure of the pedestal. Our analysis focuses on the Deuterium reference discharge #97781 performed in the scenario development for the Deuterium-Tritium campaign. We find the pedestal top transport to be dominated by ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes. In the pedestal center turbulent ion transport is suppressed and electron transport is driven by multi-faceted electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes, which extend down to ion-gyroradius scales. E × B shear is observed to strongly reduce the absolute turbulence level in global, nonlinear simulations. Furthermore, impurities are shown to reduce the main ion transport. Dedicated density and ion temperature profile variations test the sensitivity of the results and do not find strong differences in the turbulent transport in more reactor-like conditions.
