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 …

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 …

In this paper, recent progress on experimental analysis and theoretical models for non-local
transport (non-Fickian fluxes in real space) is reviewed. The non-locality in the heat and …

Saturation mechanisms for two-dimensional (2D) edge turbulence are studied in a
Braginskii-type fluid model using the scrape-off-layer turbulence code. The simulations study …

The mechanism of nonlinear structural formation has been studied with a three-field reduced
fluid model, which is extended to describe the resistive drift wave turbulence in magnetized …

High-density plasma filaments extended along the magnetic field, which look like “blobs” in
the plane perpendicular to B, have been observed in the scrape-off-layer (SOL) of many …

A new three-dimensional model for the warm-ion turbulence at the tokamak edge plasma
and in the scrape-off layer is proposed, and used to study the dynamics of plasma blobs in …

The Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) and internal waves in both the incompressible and
compressible dense degenerate strongly coupled quantum plasma have been investigated …

We address the mechanisms underlying low-frequency zonal flow generation in turbulent
system and the associated intermittent regime of ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) turbulence …

Global gyrokinetic Vlasov simulations for trapped ion modes are performed by solving a
Vlasov equation averaged over the cyclotron and bounce motions of trapped ions. The …
