Theory of trapped-ion-temperature-gradient-driven turbulence and transport in low-collisionality plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a novel theory for the nonlinear evolution of the trapped ion-temperature-gradient-driven mode, based on the turbulent trapping of resonant ions in the electrostatic potential of the waves, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Momentum theorems and the structure of atmospheric jets and zonal flows in plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the inviscid invariance of potential vorticity is used to derive momentum balance relations for zonal flows in drift wave turbulence, and the relations are constructed by exploiting potential enstrophy balance and the Taylor identity, and link flow momentum to turbulence pseudomomentum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radial fluctuation scale of ion temperature gradient driven turbulence

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that ion temperature gradient driven turbulence supports fluctuations with broader radial scales than those inferred previously on the basis of mixing length arguments derived from the eigenfunction with lowest radial eigenmode number.
