This paper presents a pedagogical review of the physics of mesoscopic transport events and
their role in the breakdown of Fick's Law for turbulent transport in magnetically confined …

An overview of the physics of intrinsic torque is presented, with special emphasis on the
phenomenology of intrinsic toroidal rotation in tokamaks, its theoretical understanding, and …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …

We develop a novel numerical scheme to simulate electrostatic turbulence with kinetic
electron responses in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas. Focusing on ion gyro-radius …

A long time ion temperature gradient driven turbulence simulation over a confinement time is
performed using the full-f gyrokinetic Eulerian code GT5D. The convergence of steady …

A mechanism for turbulent acceleration of parallel rotation is discovered using gyrokinetic
theory. This new turbulent acceleration term cannot be written as a divergence of parallel …

Nonlinear bounce-averaged kinetic theory [BH Fong and TS Hahm, Phys. Plasmas 6, 188
(1999)] is used for magnetically trapped electron dynamics for the purpose of achieving …

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 …

Toroidal rotation profiles have been investigated in KSTAR H-mode plasma using combined
auxiliary heating by co-neutral beam injection (NBI) and electron cyclotron resonance …

Two types of experiments were carried out to conduct an intrinsic rotation study in KSTAR.
The first was a density ramp-up experiment without neutral beam injection, and the second …
