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 …

Transport is the outstanding physics issue in the quest for fusion by magnetic confinement.
In spite of the intrinsic difficulty, a great deal of progress has been made in the past 25 years …

A simple, paradigmatic model of long‐wavelength drift wave turbulence in the presence of a
sheared poloidal flow is analyzed in detail. Linear theory predicts that velocity shear induces …

Experimental data on the transition from the low to high confinement mode in tokamaks is
briefly reviewed, concentrating on those cases where the transition is made by a slow …

As a model example of the effect of shear flow on the cross phase between electrostatic
potential and pressure fluctuations, a nonlinear theory of resistive pressure gradient driven …

Density and temperature fluctuations have been measured in the plasma bulk side of the
velocity-shear location of the TJ-I tokamak using a fast swept Langmuir probe technique …

A broad sample of fluid models for instability-driven plasma turbulence is surveyed to
determine whether saturation involving damped eigenmodes requires special physics or is a …

In a recent work [N. Mattor and PH Diamond, Phys. Rev. Lett. 62, 486 (1994)], it was
suggested that large amplitude turbulence in edge plasmas [n ̃/n 0∼ O (1)] could originate …

Scaling studies of turbulence and turbulence induced particle transport have been
performed in the edge plasma of the TEXT tokamak using Langmuir probes and a fast probe …

The theory of ionization‐driven drift wave turbulence is presented in the context of a
quasilocal model. Linear analysis reveals that ionization effects can destabilize collisional …
