Based on the method of canonical transformation of variables and the classical perturbation
theory, this innovative book treats the systematic theory of symplectic mappings for …

The magnetic confinement concept of thermonuclear plasma is one of the areas of
controlled fusion research developing in the past 50 years in a quest for clean and unlimited …

Some internal transport barriers in tokamaks have been related to the vicinity of extrema of
the plasma equilibrium profiles. This effect is numerically investigated by considering the …

Investigations of chaotic particle transport by drift waves propagating in the edge plasma of
tokamaks with poloidal zonal flow are described. For large aspect ratio tokamaks, the …

Mapping models of Hamiltonian systems are discussed using the example of magnetic field
lines in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. They are usually constructed in a certain …

A method for constructing time-step-based symplectic maps for a generic Hamiltonian
system subjected to perturbation is developed. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi method and …

Electron thermal fluxes are derived from the power balance for Tore Supra (TS) and NSTX
discharges with centrally deposited fast wave electron heating. Measurements of the …

The Tore Supra [Equipe Tore Supra presented by R. Aymar in Plasma Physics and
Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, Proc. 12th Int. Conf., Nice, 1988 (IAEA, Vienna, 1989) …

We applied a non-integrable drift-kinetic model, valid for large aspect ratio tokamaks, to
investigate plasma edge particle transport driven by drift waves. Particle transport is …

For tokamak models using simplified geometries and reversed shear plasma profiles, we
have numerically investigated how the onset of Lagrangian chaos at the plasma edge may …
