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 …

The 2D mode structure symmetry breaking of the ion temperature gradient mode is studied
analytically and numerically based on the mixed initial-value-eigenvalue approach, the …

A simple model for the generation and amplification of intrinsic axial flow in a linear device,
controlled shear decorrelation experiment, is proposed. This model proposes and builds …

Dedicated experiments have been performed in KSTAR Ohmic plasmas to investigate the
detailed physics of the rotation reversal phenomena. Here we adapt the more general …

This book provides a comprehensive look at the state of the art of externally driven and self-
generated rotation as well as momentum transport in tokamak plasmas. In addition to recent …

Abstract Changes in the core toroidal rotation profiles following injection of lower hybrid (LH)
waves have been documented in Alcator C-Mod plasmas. Shot by shot scans of LH input …

A dimensionless empirical scaling for intrinsic toroidal rotation is given: MA∼ β N ρ*⁠,
where MA is the toroidal velocity divided by the Alfvén velocity, β N is the usual normalized β …

This paper reports on a recent advance in developing physical understanding and a first-
principles-based model for predicting intrinsic rotation profiles in magnetic fusion …

The triangular mesh-based gyrokinetic scheme enables comprehensive axis-to-edge
studies across the entire plasma volume. Our approach employs triangular finite elements …

Virtually, all existing theoretical works on turbulent poloidal momentum transport are based
on quasilinear theory. Nonlinear poloidal momentum flux—$\langle {{\tilde {v}} _ {r}}\tilde …
