Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of Nonlinear Alfven Waves in Streaming Inhomogeneous Plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear evolution equation for Alfven waves propagating in streaming plasmas with nonuniform densities and inhomogeneous magnetic fields is obtained by using the reductive perturbation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

The negative triangularity tokamak: stability limits and prospects as a fusion energy system

TL;DR: In this paper, the edge stability, beta limits and power handling issues for negative triangularity tokamaks were discussed, and it was shown that plasmas with reactor-relevant values of normalized beta(N) > 3 can be stable to global kink modes without wall stabilization with appropriate core pressure profile optimization against localized mode stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory of the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Transport Bifurcations

TL;DR: In this article, the development and time evolution of a transport barrier in a magnetically confined plasma with non-monotonic, nonlinear dependence of the anomalous flux on mean gradients is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shear-induced Reynolds stress at the edge of L-mode tokamak plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the flux-surface-averaged stress in the edge region of an L-mode tokamak plasma was investigated in the case of ballooning modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TEXT tokamak edge turbulence modeling

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental fluctuation levels and turbulence characteristics can be reproduced by considering the nonlinear evolution of fluid-type equations, incorporating thermal and ionization drives, and the experimental results on the Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) [Nucl. Technol/Fusion 1, 479 (1982)] and the Advanced Toroidal Facility (ATF) torsatron [Fusion Technol. 10, 179 (1986)].
