Confirmation of Alexei’s neoclassical run result
I reran Alexei’s case number XGC-B35 on jaguar at NCCS, essentially unchanged from how he ran it on hopper at NERSC previously except for using a different number of processes. The results are fairly similar at my final run time of 80 ion transit times (see plots). We should probably turn on NBI heating for the ions to maintain the proper ion temperature near psi_min. This run had a neutrals birth temperature of 10 eV. It is not clear how to further improve the profile behavior near the separatrix.
