Abstract

The implementation of magnetic islands in gyrokinetic simulation has been verified in the gyrokinetic toroidal code (GTC). The ion and electron density profiles become partially flattened inside the islands. The density profile at the low fleld side is less flattened than that at the high field side due to toroidally trapped particles in the low field side, which do not move along the perturbed magnetic field lines. When the fraction of trapped particles decreases, the density profile at the low field becomes more flattened.
