stella

stella solves the gyrokinetic-Poisson system of equations in the local limit using an operator-split, implicit-explicit numerical scheme. It is capable of evolving electrostatic fluctuations with fully kinetic electrons and an arbitrary number of ion species in general magnetic geometry, including stellarators.
