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 …

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 …

The understanding and prediction of transport due to plasma microturbulence is a key open
problem in modern plasma physics, and a grand challenge for fusion energy research. Ab …

This paper addresses non-linear gyrokinetic simulations of ion temperature gradient (ITG)
turbulence in tokamak plasmas. The electrostatic GYSELA code is one of the few …

Turbulence in hot magnetized plasmas is shown to generate permeable localized transport
barriers that globally organize into the so-called" E x B staircase"[G. Dif-Pradalier et al …

A general theoretical framework for investigating the nonlinear dynamics of phase space
zonal structures is presented in this work. It is then, more specifically, applied to the limit …

In this paper, recent progress on experimental analysis and theoretical models for non-local
transport (non-Fickian fluxes in real space) is reviewed. The non-locality in the heat and …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …

Magnetic confinement fusion offers the promise of sustainable and safe energy production
on Earth. Advanced experimental scenarios exploit the fascinating yet uncommon ability of …

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' …
