A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

Nonlinear gyrokinetic equations play a fundamental role in our understanding of the long-
time behavior of strongly magnetized plasmas. The foundations of modern nonlinear …

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 …

This overview is an assessment of the gyrokinetic framework and simulations to compute
turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. It covers an introduction to the gyrokinetic theory, the …

This paper presents a pedagogical review of the physics of mesoscopic transport events and
their role in the breakdown of Fick's Law for turbulent transport in magnetically confined …

We study the simplest problem of turbulence spreading corresponding to the spatio-
temporal propagation of a patch of turbulence from a region where it is locally excited to a …

A new code is presented here, named Gyrokinetic SEmi-LAgragian (GYSELA) code, which
solves 4D drift-kinetic equations for ion temperature gradient driven turbulence in a cylinder …

A general geometry gyro-kinetic model for particle simulation of plasma turbulence in
tokamak experiments is described. It incorporates the comprehensive influence of …

The turbulent convective flux of the toroidal angular momentum density is derived using the
nonlinear toroidal gyrokinetic equation which conserves phase space density and energy …

A dynamical theory of turbulence spreading and nonlocal interaction phenomena is
presented. The basic model is derived using Fokker–Planck theory, and supported by wave …
