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 …

Information theory provides an interdisciplinary method to understand important phenomena
in many research fields ranging from astrophysical and laboratory fluids/plasmas to …

Probe measurements in the PISCES linear device indicate the presence of plasma radially
far from where it is produced. We show that this is mainly caused by large-scale structures of …

A pedagogical review of the historical development and current status (as of early 2000) of
systematic statistical theories of plasma turbulence is undertaken. Emphasis is on …

A model for plasma transport near marginal stability is presented. The model is based on
subcri‐tical resistive pressure‐gradient‐driven turbulence. Three‐dimensional nonlinear …

Transport is the outstanding physics issue in the quest for fusion by magnetic confinement.
In spite of the intrinsic difficulty, a great deal of progress has been made in the past 25 years …

Plasma fluctuations in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the TCV tokamak exhibit statistical
properties which are universal across a broad range of discharge conditions. Electron …

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 …

The rescaled range analysis techniques are used to investigate long-range dependence in
plasma edge fluctuations [Mandelbrot and Wallis, Water Resources Res. 4, 909 (1969)]. This …

Density fluctuation measured by a reciprocating Langmuir probe on the Tore Supra tokamak
[Garbet et al., Nucl. Fusion 32, 2147 (1992)] is investigated. The purpose of this article is to …
