GYRO

GYRO is a computational plasma physics code developed and maintained at General Atomics. It solves the 5-D coupled gyrokinetic-Maxwell equations using a combination of finite difference, finite element and spectral methods. Given plasma equilibrium data, GYRO can determine the rate of turbulent transport of particles, momentum and energy.

Gyro may refer to:

• An abbreviation for gyroscope, an orientation-stabilizing device
• An abbreviation for autogyro, a type of rotary-wing aircraft
• The casually used brand name of a detangler mechanism, part of a stunt-adapted BMX bicycle
