The role of stable shear flow in suppressing turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas
and neutral fluids is reviewed. Localized stable flow shear produces transport barriers …

Internal transport barriers in tokamak plasmas are explored in order to improve confinement
and stability beyond the reference scenario, used for the ITER extrapolation, and to achieve …

One of the scientific success stories of fusion research over the past decade is the
development of the E× B shear stabilization model to explain the formation of transport …

The suppression of turbulence by the E× B flow shear and parallel flow shear is studied in
an arbitrary shape finite aspect ratio tokamak plasma using the two point nonlinear analysis …

The installation of a new poloidal charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS)
diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) has enabled the determination of the radial electric …

Wendelstein 7-AS was the first modular stellarator device to test some basic elements of
stellarator optimization: a reduced Shafranov shift and improved stability properties resulted …

The paradigm of shear suppression of turbulence as the mechanism for the low to high
confinement mode (L to H) transition is examined by quantitative comparison of the …

The charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostics at ASDEX Upgrade
(AUG) have been upgraded and extended to provide high-resolution measurements of …

Experimental studies on radial structures of plasma rotation and radial electric field in
toroidal plasmas are reviewed. In this context, the perpendicular and parallel viscosities that …
