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 …

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 …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

Tokamak discharges with improved energy confinement properties arising from internal
transport barriers (ITBs) have certain attractive features, such as a large bootstrap current …

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is encountered in a wide variety of astrophysical
plasmas, including accretion disks, the solar wind, and the interstellar and intracluster …

The objectives of NSTX-U research are to reinforce the advantages of STs while addressing
the challenges. To extend confinement physics of low-A, high beta plasmas to lower …

METIS is a numerical code aiming at fast full tokamak plasma analyses and predictions. It
combines 0D scaling-law normalised heat and particle transport with 1D current diffusion …

Turbulent transport is a key physics process for confining magnetic fusion plasma. Recent
theoretical and experimental studies of existing fusion experimental devices revealed the …

We present the results of GENE gyrokinetic calculations based on a series of JET–ITER-like-
wall (ILW) type I ELMy H-mode discharges operating with similar experimental inputs but at …
