In tokamaks, turbulent particle and toroidal momentum transport are both characterized by the presence of off-diagonal contributions which play an essential role in establishing the …
Turbulent transport of toroidal momentum is investigated in global linear gyrokinetic simulations. The poloidal tilt of the global mode structure arising from the radial variation of …
A novel mechanism for driving residual stress in tokamak plasmas based on k∥ symmetry breaking by the turbulence intensity gradient is proposed. The physics of this mechanism is …
