Minutes from our Cyclone mtg. Noted that agreement between local and global GK is at one point in parameter space.
Global codes show different size scaling and the radial mode is radially global.
John Kinsey cautioned that that particular L-mode shot had some diagnostic problems, seemed to have too high a heat flux. Discussion on the mission of Cyclone was extensive. Bill Nevins emphasized the importance of damping of the radial modes, specially in the turbulent regime and suggested looking at correlation times for these modes. Generally, it was felt that cyclone should focus on comparisons of the the core turbulence models, and especially the underlying turbulence simulations and theoretical approximations. Specifically, IFS-PPPL, Wieland, GF and GK will be under the microscope.
