Abstract

The present paper addresses the gyrokinetic water-bag model in toroidal geometry. The previous works were focused on the water-bag concept in magnetized cylindrical plasmas. Here we report on the possibility to improve the water-bag model by taking into account the curvature and gradient drifts. After a presentation of the model, a local linear analysis with some approximations is performed. Interchange and ion temperature gradient instabilities are examined with this new gyro-water-bag model in order to show its ability and its theoretical interest in describing kinetic instabilities in toroidal geometry.
