A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

Drift waves occur universally in magnetized plasmas producing the dominant mechanism for
the transport of particles, energy and momentum across magnetic field lines. A wealth of …

One of the scientific success stories of fusion research over the past decade is the
development of the E× B shear stabilization model to explain the formation of transport …

Nonlinear gyrokinetic equations play a fundamental role in our understanding of the long-
time behavior of strongly magnetized plasmas. The foundations of modern nonlinear …

Three-dimensional gyrokinetic simulations of microturbulence in magnetically confined
toroidal plasmas with massively parallel computers showed that, with linear flow dam** …

The role of stable shear flow in suppressing turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas
and neutral fluids is reviewed. Localized stable flow shear produces transport barriers …

The present status of zonal flow experiments is reviewed with the historical process to attain
the concept of zonal flows, which provides a new framework for understanding turbulence …

This graduate level textbook develops the theory of magnetically confined plasma, with the
aim of bringing the reader to the level of current research in the field of thermonuclear fusion …

We elucidate the role of zonal flows in transient phenomena observed during LH transition
by studying a simple LH transition model which contains the evolution of zonal flows, mean …

Internal transport barriers in tokamak plasmas are explored in order to improve confinement
and stability beyond the reference scenario, used for the ITER extrapolation, and to achieve …
