Gyrokinetic Studies of Ion Temperature Gradient Turbulence and Zonal Flows in Helical Systems
Gyrokinetic theory and simulation results are presented to investigate regulation of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence due to E × B zonal flows in helical systems. In order to examine effects of changes in helical magnetic configuration on anomalous transport and zonal flows, magnetic field parameters representing the standard and inward-shifted configurations of the Large Helical Devic...

The mutual interactions of ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven modes, zonal flows and geodesic acoustic modes (GAM) in tokamak plasmas are investigated using a global nonlinear gyrokinetic formulation with totally unconstrained evolution of temperature gradient and profile. A series of numerical simulations with the same initial temperature and density profile specifications is performed usin...

متن کاملExperimental evidence of fluctuations and flows near marginal stability in the plasma boundary region of fusion plasmas
Electrostatic turbulence has been investigated in the plasma boundary region in the JET tokamak and in the TJ-II stellarator. In both devices the naturally occurring velocity shear layer organizes itself to reach a condition in which the radial gradient in the poloidal phase velocity of fluctuations is comparable to the inverse of the correlation time of fluctuations (1/τ). This result suggests...
