The two‐moment version of the three‐dimensional gyrofluid code GEM3 has been adapted for the simulation of drift‐wave turbulence in the linear device VINETA [1]. In the modified GEM3 code gyrofluid equations for the density and parallel velocity of electrons and ions are solved for the cylindrical annulus. Computations are done for the electrostatic case using an exponential background density profile observed experimentally. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
