Recent developments in the physics of nonlinear drift waves are presented with special
emphasis on the formulation and solutions of reduced hydrodynamic drift wave models. The …

Controlling the boundary layer in fusion-grade, high-performance, plasma discharges is
essential for the successful development of toroidal magnetic confinement power generating …

A basic theoretical framework is developed for the investigation of tearing mode interactions
in cylindrical geometry. A set of equations describing the coupled evolution of the amplitude …

This is a review of what is known about fluctuations and anomalous transport processes in
tokamaks. It mostly considers experimental results obtained after, and not included in, the …

The electrostatic fluctuations are decorrelated in the region of a naturally occurring E r× B
velocity shear close to the outermost closed flux surface of regular Ohmic TEXT discharges …

This review paper addresses the physics of stochastic boundaries. Although it is focused on
the tokamak configuration many features are common to the stochastic boundaries of …

Linear, two-fluid, resistive modelling of the plasma response to applied non-axisymmetric
fields shows significant displacement of edge temperature and density profiles. The …

Systematic measurements on the edge turbulence and turbulent transport have been made
by Langmuir probe arrays on TEXTOR under various static Dynamic Ergodic Divertor (DED) …

The impact of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on the edge of MAST L-mode
plasmas is studied using a mid-plane reciprocating probe equipped with a Gundestrup …
