摘要: A dynamical equation for self-sustained and pressure-driven turbulence in toroidal plasmas is derived. The growth rate of the dressed-test mode, which belongs to subcritical turbulence, obtained as a function turbulent transport coefficient. In limit low fluctuation level, mode has nonlinear instability shows explosive growth. vanishes when driven reaches stationary-turbulent level. stationary solution thermodynamically stable. characteristic time, by are established, scales with ion-sound transit time accelerated bad magnetic curvature. influence pressure gradient well radial electric field inhomogeneity quantified.
