A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

Vienna, 1987, Vol. 1, p. 159 high confinement H-mode experiment. Most of the models show
good agreements in their predictions and assumptions for the linear growth rates and …

Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …

In this report we present a time-explicit, Eulerian numerical scheme for the solution of the
nonlinear gyrokinetic-Maxwell equations. The treatment of electrons is fully drift-kinetic …

A new theory-based transport model with comprehensive physics (trapping, general toroidal
geometry, fully electromagnetic, electron-ion collisions, impurity ions) has been developed …

The primary objective of these lecture notes is to present the basic theories and analytical
methods of plasma physics and to provide the recent status of fusion research for graduate …

We adopt gyrokinetic theory to extract the phase space zonal structure from the flux surface
averaged particle response, that is, the nonlinear response that is undamped by …

Radial profiles of density fluctuations and the radial electric field, E r, have been measured
using Doppler reflectometry during the post-pellet enhanced confinement phase achieved …

The effect of island width on the multi-scale interactions between magnetic island (MI) and
ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence has been investigated based on the global …

Turbulent transport resulting from drift waves, typically, the ion temperature gradient (ITG)
mode and trapped electron mode (TEM), is of great significance in magnetic confinement …
