Abstract
Abstract A detailed description of GENE-3D, a newly developed global stellarator version of the well established gyrokinetic turbulence code GENE, is provided – along with some initial simulation results. First, the underlying gyrokinetic equations and the use of field-aligned coordinates in non-axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic equilibria are discussed. Then, various aspects regarding the numerical implementation in GENE-3D are described. Finally, the code is validated and its parallel performance is assessed, along with the influence of numerical precision.
