The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

Some basic properties of collisionless, trapped-electron mode turbulence in tokamaks are
investigated by means of massively parallel gyrokinetic Vlasov simulations. In particular, the …

The physical processes producing electron particle transport in the core of tokamak plasmas
are described. Starting from the gyrokinetic equation, a simple analytical derivation is used …

In tokamaks, turbulent particle and toroidal momentum transport are both characterized by
the presence of off-diagonal contributions which play an essential role in establishing the …

Observations in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak show a correlation between the gradient of
the intrinsic toroidal rotation profile and the logarithmic gradient of the electron density …

The ASDEX Upgrade intrinsic rotation database has been expanded to include a large
number of measurements from ohmic L-mode discharges covering a wide range of plasma …

A series of carefully designed experiments on DIII-D have taken advantage of a broad set of
turbulence and profile diagnostics to rigorously test gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. In …

Transport analyses using first-principle turbulence codes and 1 1 2-D transport codes
usually study radial transport properties between the tokamak plasma magnetic axis and a …

Turbulence measurements in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas have a long history
and relevance due to the detrimental role of turbulence induced transport on particle …

Local gyrokinetic calculations of the logarithmic gradients at mid-radius of both electron and
boron densities in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas are presented and compared with the …
