Intermittent plasma objects (IPOs), featuring higher pressure than the surrounding plasma,
are responsible for∼ 50% of the E× BT radial transport in the scrape off layer (SOL) of the …

The intermittent turbulent transport in the scrape-off-layer SOL of Alcator C-Mod IH
Hutchinson, R. Boivin, PT Bonoli et al., Nucl. Fusion 41, 1391 2001 is studied experimentally …

Radial convection of isolated filamentary structures due to interchange motions in
magnetized plasmas is investigated. Following a basic discussion of vorticity generation …

Strongly intermittent turbulence is observed in the shadow of a limiter in the large plasma
device at UCLA [W. Gekelman et al, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 (1991)]. The amplitude …

Radially propagating spatiotemporal fluctuation structures are observed in the scrape-off
layer of Alcator C-Mod [IH Hutchinson et al, Phys. Plasmas 1,(1994)] using the combination …

Dust particulates in the size range of 10 nm–100 μ m are found in all fusion devices. Such
dust can be generated during tokamak operation due to strong plasma∕ material-surface …

Numerical fluid simulations of interchange turbulence for geometry and parameters relevant
to the boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas are shown to result in intermittent …

Large-scale radial advection of isolated structures in nonuniformly magnetized plasmas is
investigated. The underlying mechanism considered is due to the nonlinear evolution of …

The gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic can be used to study the turbulence present at the
edge of magnetically confined plasmas. In this diagnostic the instantaneous two …

A theoretical framework is developed to link the density profiles in the scrape off layer (SOL)
with the fluctuations (filaments) that generate them. The framework is based on the dynamics …
