DESCRIPTION:Turbulent transport in magnetic fusion plasmas plays a key rol
 e in the energy confinement time. It involves purely kinetic phenomena and
  thus needs a full Vlasov-Maxwell model. However due to the presence of a 
 very large external magnetic field the Vlasov equation needs be reduced to
  a so called gyrokinetic model. This model will be presented and then we w
 ill focus on the different approaches used for its numerical simulation: p
 urely Eulerian techniques in the GENE code\, Particle-In-Cell in the EUTER
 PE code and semi-Lagragian in the GYSELA code.
