Experimental observations of driven and intrinsic rotation in tokamak plasmas are reviewed.
For momentum sources, there is direct drive from neutral beam injection, lower hybrid and …

Abstract Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) program is
strongly focused on solving the scientific and technological issues in steady-state high …

A tokamak, a torus-shaped nuclear fusion device, needs an electric current in the plasma to
produce magnetic field in the poloidal direction for confining fusion plasmas. Plasma current …

Non-linear, radially global, turbulence simulations of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) plasmas are
performed and the nonlinear generated intrinsic flow shows agreement with the intrinsic flow …

Toroidal rotation is critical for fusion in tokamaks, since it stabilizes instabilities that can
otherwise cause disruptions or degrade confinement. Unlike present-day devices, ITER …

Threshold density for intrinsic toroidal rotation reversal is studied using a newly proposed
model [Li et al., Nucl. Fusion 61, 104002 (2021)] based on the neoclassical toroidal plasma …

Experiments of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECH) power scan in KSTAR tokamak
clearly demonstrate that both the cutoff density for non-local heat transport (NLT) and the …

Phenomenology of Ohmic energy confinement saturation in tokamaks is reviewed.
Characteristics of the linear Ohmic confinement (LOC) and saturated Ohmic confinement …

The progress made in understanding spontaneous toroidal rotation reversals in tokamaks is
reviewed and current ideas to solve this ten-year-old puzzle are explored. The paper …

Plasma rotation plays a critical role in improving plasma confinement in a magnetically
confined fusion device. Spontaneous plasma rotation and its reversal of orientation without …
