The non-local transport nature revealed by the research in transient phenomena of toroidal
plasma is reviewed. The following non-local phenomena are described: core temperature …

We show that a class of near-marginal and low-collisional magnetised plasmas naturally
evolve into a globally organised state dubbed the'$\mathbf {E}\times\mathbf {B} $ staircase' …

In magnetic fusion plasmas, a transport barrier is essential to improve the plasma
confinement. The key physics behind the formation of a transport barrier is the suppression …

This paper presents a mechanism for enhanced regulation of drift wave turbulence by zonal
flows in the presence of a fast ion population. It demonstrates that dilution effects due to the …

A unified theory of zonal flow shears and density corrugations in drift wave turbulence is
presented. Polarization and density advection beat excitation are studied in combination …

The first principle nonlinear gyrokinetic numerical simulation successfully reproduces the
experimental observations of non-diffusive large scale avalanching events in a KSTAR MHD …

Abstract The E× B flow staircase-like pattern observed in the first principle gyrokinetic
numerical experiments of tokamak fusion plasmas forms due to a nonlinear time delay …

Turbulent transport is undoubtedly important in magnetic confinement plasmas. It has been
reported that a lot of transport dynamics are not satisfying the local diffusive models. Here …

We observe the formation of a high-pressure staircase pedestal (≈ 16–20 kPa) in the DIII-D
tokamak when large amplitude edge localized modes are suppressed using resonant …

This paper presents a theory for the collapse of the edge zonal shear layer, as observed at
the density limit at low β. This paper investigates the scaling of the transport and mean …
