Gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations from variational averaging — •Edoardo Zoni^1,2 and Stefan Possanner^1,2 — ¹Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, 85748 Garching, Germany — ²Technische Universität München, Zentrum Mathematik, 85748 Garching, Germany

Nonlinear gyrokinetics is the major formalism used in theoretical and numerical studies of low-frequency microturbulence in magnetized fusion plasmas. A set of gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations is derived with the method of variational averaging (Possanner, 2018) in a field-theoretic framework, without relying on the more complex mathematical formalism of Lie transform perturbation theory. The gyrokinetic ordering considered in this work is obtained by introducing a rigorous normalization scheme for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations and looking at physical scenarios relevant for realistic fusion devices. The gauge invariance of the resulting gyrokinetic model is also discussed.
