This paper surveys the basic ideas and results on fundamental models of drift wave
turbulence, the formation of zonal flows, shear suppression of turbulence and transport …

In this paper, recent progress on experimental analysis and theoretical models for non-local
transport (non-Fickian fluxes in real space) is reviewed. The non-locality in the heat and …

We investigate the dynamics of the low (L)→ high (H) transition using a time-dependent, one
dimensional (in radius) model which self-consistently describes the time evolution of zonal …

This paper reviews the current state of understanding of the L–H transition phenomenon in
tokamak plasmas with a focus on two central issues:(a) the mechanism for turbulence quick …

Reynolds stress is a key facet of turbulence self-organization. In the magnetized plasmas of
controlled fusion devices, the zonal flows that are driven by the averaged Reynolds stress …

Treatment of binary Coulomb collisions when the full gyrokinetic distribution function is
evolved is discussed here. A spectrum of different collision operators is presented, differing …

In tokamak plasmas with low levels of toroidal rotation, the radial electric field E r is a
combination of pressure gradient and toroidal and poloidal rotation components, all having …

The concept and theory of potential vorticity in drift wave turbulence are extended to the
case of an inhomogeneous magnetic field. A one-field magnetic potential vorticity …

Collisional electron drift wave turbulence generates drift wave packet structures with density
and vorticity fluctuations in the central plasma pressure gradient region of a linear plasma …

A novel theory to describe the formation of E× B flow patterns by radially propagating heat
flux waves is presented. A model for heat avalanche dynamics is extended to include a finite …
