An overview of the physics of intrinsic torque is presented, with special emphasis on the
phenomenology of intrinsic toroidal rotation in tokamaks, its theoretical understanding, and …

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod
tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol …

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 …

An improved energy confinement regime, I-mode, is studied in Alcator C-Mod, a compact
high-field divertor tokamak using ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRFs) auxiliary …

Significant progress has been made in the area of advanced modes of operation that are
candidates for achieving steady state conditions in a fusion reactor. The corresponding …

Parametric scalings of the intrinsic (spontaneous, with no external momentum input) toroidal
rotation observed on a large number of tokamaks have been combined with an eye towards …

Recent results in the theory of turbulent momentum transport and the origins of intrinsic
rotation are summarized. Special attention is focused on aspects of momentum transport …

In this Letter, the influence of the “Coriolis drift” on small scale instabilities in toroidal
plasmas is shown to generate a toroidal momentum pinch velocity. Such a pinch results …

Toroidal momentum transport mechanisms are reviewed and put in a broader perspective.
The generation of a finite momentum flux is closely related to the breaking of symmetry …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …
