Abstract

A study of density peaking and particle flow in low confinement (L-mode) DIII-D discharges [G. R. McKee, C. C. Petty, R. E. Waltz et al., Nucl. Fusion 41, 1235 (2001)], using global gyrokinetic simulations, is presented. It is found that under experimental conditions, in particular when realistic collisionality is included, a turbulent pinch driven by electron temperature and density gradients can occur.
