The role of stable shear flow in suppressing turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas
and neutral fluids is reviewed. Localized stable flow shear produces transport barriers …

The physics of divertors in tokamaks is reviewed, primarily from an experimental point of
view, although where possible simple analytic modelling is included. The paper covers the …

One of the scientific success stories of fusion research over the past decade is the
development of the E× B shear stabilization model to explain the formation of transport …

The H-mode is a confinement mode of toroidal plasmas, which may make the goals of fusion
possible—the development of a clean energy source at competitive electricity costs. The …

The suppression of turbulence by the E× B flow shear and parallel flow shear is studied in
an arbitrary shape finite aspect ratio tokamak plasma using the two point nonlinear analysis …

A review of experiments and theory of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and
current drive (ECCD) is presented. An outline of the basic linear theory of wave propagation …

We elucidate the role of zonal flows in transient phenomena observed during LH transition
by studying a simple LH transition model which contains the evolution of zonal flows, mean …

Internal transport barriers in tokamak plasmas are explored in order to improve confinement
and stability beyond the reference scenario, used for the ITER extrapolation, and to achieve …

The dependence of plasma transport and confinement on the main hydrogenic ion isotope
mass is of fundamental importance for understanding turbulent transport and, therefore, for …

After a general discussion of the experimental characteristics of the LH transition and
consideration of basic theoretical principles underlying models for it, this paper reviews the …
