Recent experimental and simulation work has substantially advanced the understanding of
L-mode plasma edge turbulence and plasma flows and their mutual interaction across the L …

ABSTRACT A major scientific success story of magnetic fusion research in the past several
decades has been the theoretical development and experimental testing of the process of …

Results from recent experiment and numerical simulation point towards a picture of the LH
transition in which edge shear flows interacting with edge turbulence create the conditions …

The turbulence and flows at the plasma edge during the L–I–H, L–I–L and single-step L–H
transitions have been measured directly using two reciprocating Langmuir probe systems at …

An experimental study is conducted on macro-and microscopic characteristics of low to high
(LH) transition acquired by electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in KSTAR. A scan …

The links between the microscopic dynamics and macroscopic threshold physics of the L→
H transition are elucidated. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physics of power …

This paper describes a detailed examination of the effects of a relatively small pulsed
deuterium gas puff on the edge plasma and edge turbulence in NSTX. This gas puff caused …

We apply gyrokinetic simulations to study pellet induced improved confinement in the
TUMAN-3M tokamak. Nonlinear simulations show a clear decrease in transport coefficients …

The understanding of fundamental dynamics during the transition from low to high
confinement mode in magnetically confined plasma is significant. This process requires a …

This paper presents a model for an ohmically heated plasma in which a feedback exists
between thermal conduction and transport, on one side, and the magneto-hydro-dynamical …
