The role of stable shear flow in suppressing turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas
and neutral fluids is reviewed. Localized stable flow shear produces transport barriers …

This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

Transport is the outstanding physics issue in the quest for fusion by magnetic confinement.
In spite of the intrinsic difficulty, a great deal of progress has been made in the past 25 years …

With the addition of inductive poloidal current drive for current profile control in the Madison
Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch, the magnetic fluctuation amplitude halves …

New profile measurements have allowed the electron thermal diffusivity profile to be
estimated<? format?> from power balance in the Madison Symmetric Torus where magnetic …

The driving and damping mechanism of plasma flow is an important issue because flow
shear has a significant impact on turbulence in a plasma, which determines the transport in …

A large class of Laboratory, Space, and Astrophysical plasmas is nearly collisionless. When
a localized energy or particle sink, for example, in the form of a radiative cooling spot or a …

The interplay between MHD and turbulence is an interesting topic in magnetically confined
plasma and solar plasma. The experimental observations made recently, shown below …

The scaling of the magnetic and velocity fluctuations with Lundquist number (S) is examined
experimentally over a range of values from 7× 10 4 to 10 6 in a reversed-field pinch (RFP) …

The cross-field current is calculated as a function of the applied electric field, density, and
temperature gradients in a given perturbed magnetic field. The current is calculated both for …
