A decade-long operation of the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research
(KSTAR) has contributed significantly to the operation of superconducting tokamak devices …

The non-local transport nature revealed by the research in transient phenomena of toroidal
plasma is reviewed. The following non-local phenomena are described: core temperature …

In magnetic fusion plasmas, a transport barrier is essential to improve the plasma
confinement. The key physics behind the formation of a transport barrier is the suppression …

The first principle nonlinear gyrokinetic numerical simulation successfully reproduces the
experimental observations of non-diffusive large scale avalanching events in a KSTAR MHD …

Large burst activity, identified as toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) avalanche, occurs
frequently in neutral-beam heated plasmas in National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) …

Abstract The E× B flow staircase-like pattern observed in the first principle gyrokinetic
numerical experiments of tokamak fusion plasmas forms due to a nonlinear time delay …

Turbulent transport is undoubtedly important in magnetic confinement plasmas. It has been
reported that a lot of transport dynamics are not satisfying the local diffusive models. Here …

Abstract The E× B staircase is a quasi-periodic pattern of pressure profile corrugations. In
this work, we present a new mechanism for E× B staircase formation that involves resonant …

A model of E× B staircases is proposed based on a wave kinetic equation coupled to a
poloidal momentum equation. A staircase pattern is idealized as a periodic radial structure …

A new basis has been found for the theory of self-organization of transport avalanches and
jet zonal flows in L-mode tokamak plasma, the so-called “plasma staircase”[Dif-Pradalier …
