This paper uses the gyro-moment (GM) approach as a multi-fidelity tool to explore the effect of triangularity on tokamak edge turbulence. Considering experimental data from an L-mode DIII-D discharge, we conduct gyrokinetic (GK) simulations…
The connection between the poloidal and the toroidal rotation of plasma in tokamak is important for the high confinement regimes, in particular in reactor regime. The sudden onset of closed convection structures in the poloidal section, due…
Effects of neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV) on plasma flow evolution in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) in a tokamak have been evaluated using a cylindrical theory model. Calculations show that the introduction of…
In tokamak plasmas, sheared flows perpendicular to the driving temperature gradients can strongly stabilize linear modes. While the system is linearly stable, regimes with persistent nonlinear turbulence may develop, i.e. the system is…
Analysis of the time series obtained with the O-Mode reflectometer (Rhodes et al 1997 Plasma Phys. and Control. Fusion 40 (1998) 493-510) and the gas puff imaging (Cziegler, I. et al 2010 Phys. of Plasmas 17, No. 5 (2010) 056120) systems on…
A mechanism is presented that suggests shielded 3-D magnetic perturbations can destabilize microinstabilities and enhance the associated anomalous transport. Using local 3-D equilibrium theory, shaped tokamak equilibria with small 3-D…
Disruptions are a serious issue in tokamaks. In a disruption, the thermal energy is lost by means of an instability which could be a resistive wall tearing mode (RWTM). During precursors to a disruption, the plasma edge region cools,…
Zonal jets are striking and beautiful examples of the propensity for geophysical turbulent flows to spontaneously self-organize into robust, large scale coherent structures. There exist many dynamical mechanisms for the formation of zonal…
In this paper we advance physical background of the energy- and flux-budget turbulence closure based on the budget equations for the turbulent kinetic and potential energies and turbulent fluxes of momentum and buoyancy, and a new…
The linear stability of pipe flow implies that only perturbations of sufficient strength will trigger the transition to turbulence. In order to determine this threshold in perturbation amplitude we study the \emph{edge of chaos} which…
We report detailed quantitative studies of elastic turbulence in a curvilinear channel flow in a dilute polymer solution of high molecular weight polyacrylamide in a high viscosity water-sugar solvent. Detailed studies of the average and…
This article presents an in-depth study of the sequence of events leading to density limit disruption in J-TEXT tokamak plasmas, with an emphasis on boudary turbulent transport and the high-field-side high-density (HFSHD) front. These…
We report a universal mechanism for turbulence-driven magnetic islands in fusion plasmas. Using gyrokinetic simulations of a linearly stable tearing mode in a large-aspect-ratio toroidal geometry under collisionless conditions, we…
The spectrum of turbulence in superfluid liquid is modified by the nonlinear energy dissipation caused by the mutual friction between quantized vortices and the normal component of the liquid. In some region of two Reynolds parameters…
First of a kind 6D-Vlasov computer simulations of high frequency ion Bernstein wave turbulence for parameters relevant to the tokamak edge show transport comparable to sub-Larmor-frequency gyrokinetic turbulence. The customary restriction…
Parametric coupling of lower hybrid pump wave with low frequency collisionless/weakly collisional trapped electron drift wave, with frequency lower than the electron bounce frequency is studied. The coupling produces two lower hybrid…
The flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a thin disc under the action of an azimuthal Lorentz force is studied experimentally. At small forcing, the Lorentz force is balanced by either viscosity or inertia, yielding quasi-Keplerian…
The flow of the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate is studied with simulation of Navier-Stokes equations. The mechanisms of flow instability at external edge of the boundary layer and near the wall are analyzed using the energy gradient…
In this work, we use the global electromagnetic and electrostatic gyro kinetic approaches to investigate the effects of zonal flows forced-driven by Alfv\'en modes due to their excitation by energetic particles (EPs), on the dynamics of ITG…
Here diffusion and Ware pinch are analyzed as opposed effects for plasma confinement, when instabilities are not considered. In this work it is studied the equilibrium inductive electric field where both effects annul each other in the…
