A blob-filament (or simply “blob”) is a magnetic-field-aligned plasma structure which is
considerably denser than the surrounding background plasma and highly localized in the …

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 …

This paper reviews measurements of edge plasma turbulence in toroidal magnetic fusion
devices with an emphasis on recent results in tokamaks. The dominant feature of edge …

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 …

In the lowest order of approximation quasi‐two‐dimensional dynamics of planetary
atmospheres and of plasmas in a magnetic field can be described by a common convective …

This book develops the subject of nonlinear plasma physics from a general physics
perspective. It begins with a description of nonlinear oscillations, the parametric instability …

Experimental results from a magnetized argon plasma column demonstrate a controlled
transition to a turbulent state as the magnetic field (B) strength is increased. At lower B there …

Fluctuation‐induced fluxes have a bursty character. As a consequence, a significant part of
the total particle flux is carried out by sporadic, large transport bursts. The local flux …

Numerical fluid simulations of interchange turbulence for geometry and parameters relevant
to the boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas are shown to result in intermittent …
