TCV-X21-GENEX: influence of collisions on the validation of global gyrokinetic simulations

This repository contains the data that supports the findings of the study that is published in P. Ulbl et al., Phys. Plasmas 30, 052507 (2023). Three global electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of the TCV-X21 case have been performed. A collisionless (No Coll) simulation, one with a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) collision operator and one with a Fokker-Planck type Lenard-Bernstein/Dougherty (LBD) collision operator.
