Drift waves occur universally in magnetized plasmas producing the dominant mechanism for
the transport of particles, energy and momentum across magnetic field lines. A wealth of …

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 …

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 …

Theory of E× B shear suppression of turbulence in toroidal geometry [Phys. Plasmas 2, 1648
(1995)] is extended to include fast time variations of the E× B flows often observed in …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …

Significant progress was made over the last decade toward quantitative, fundamental
calculations of turbulent ion thermal transport1 resulting from toroidal ion temperature …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …

Pellet injection is an important technique used for fueling and density profile control in
magnetically confined plasmas that has been investigated for many years. 1 Much effort in …

The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR)(RJ Hawryluk, to be published in Rev. Mod. Phys.)
experiments on high-temperature plasmas, that culminated in the study of deuterium–tritium …

The characteristics of internal transport barrier (ITB) structures are studied and active ITB
control has been developed in JT-60U reversed shear plasmas. The following results are …
