Drift waves occur universally in magnetized plasmas producing the dominant mechanism for
the transport of particles, energy and momentum across magnetic field lines. A wealth of …

Recent developments in the stability theory of toroidally confined plasmas are reviewed, with
the intention of providing a picture comprehensible to non-specialists. The review considers …

An overview is given of physics differences between stellarators and tokamaks, including
magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium, stability, fast-ion physics, plasma rotation, neoclassical …

2 The linearized ideal MHO equations............ 204 3 Spectral problems corresponding to
evolutionary problems.. 211 4 Stability of equilibrium configurations and the Energy …

Three‐dimensional flows of an inviscid incompressible fluid and an inviscid subsonic
compressible gas are considered and it is demonstrated how the WKB method can be used …

A transcollisional, electromagnetic fluid model, incorporating the parallel heat flux as a
dependent variable, is constructed to treat electron drift turbulence in the regime of tokamak …

The toroidicity‐induced gaps of the shear Alfvén wave spectrum in tokamaks are shown to
satisfy an envelope equation. The structure of these gaps, and the location of the high‐n gap …

The Lagrangian formulation of the gyrokinetic theory is generalized in order to describe the
particles' dynamics, as well as the self-consistent behavior of the electromagnetic fields. The …

This paper generally compares the essential features between tokamaks and stellarators,
based on previous review work individually made by authors on several specific topics, such …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …
