Gyrokinetic ElectroMagnetic

ID: gyrokinetic-electromagnetic

Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic (GEM) refers to a theoretical framework and simulation approach used primarily in the study of plasma physics, particularly in the context of magnetically confined fusion. The gyrokinetic model simplifies the description of plasma behavior by averaging over the rapid gyromotion of charged particles (like electrons and ions) in a magnetic field. This simplification allows for the description of slow dynamics more effectively, focusing on phenomena that occur on longer time scales compared to the gyromotion.
