A review of zonal flow experiments

摘要: The present status of zonal flow experiments is reviewed with the historical process to attain concept flows, which provides a new framework for understanding turbulence and transport in toroidal plasmas. existence flows experimentally confirmed paradigm plasma turbulence. paper presents contemporary on as major topics brief presentation theories, diagnostics data processing techniques peripheral issues physics. accumulated experimental results introduced this review include identification (both stationary geodesic acoustic modes), nonlinear interactions between turbulence, quantification turbulent Reynolds stress, dynamics, energy transfer dynamics wave components effects transport. These have given rise paradigm, namely, that system drift waves, an emphasis interaction disparate scale structures, e.g. (mesoscale) (micro-scale).
