Transport events and \(E \times B\) staircase in flux-driven gyrokinetic simulation of ion temperature gradient turbulence
Nonlocal bursty heat transport can be pervasive in fusion plasmas, often leading to deviation from the gyro-Bohm scaling. Recently, radially quasi-periodic structures of

A sustained high-temperature fusion plasma regime facilitated by fast ions
Nuclear fusion is one of the most attractive alternatives to carbon-dependent energy sources1. Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion in a large reactor scale, however, still presents many scientific challenges de...

Open AccessEffects of plasma turbulence on the nonlinear evolution of magnetic island in tokamak
Magnetic islands (MIs), resulting from a magnetic field reconnection, are ubiquitous structures in magnetized plasmas. In tokamak plasmas, recent researches suggested that the interaction between an MI and amb...

Mesoscopic Transport Events and the Breakdown of Fick’s Law for Turbulent Fluxes
This paper presents a pedagogical review of the physics of mesoscopic transport events and their role in the breakdown of Fick’s Law for turbulent transport in magnetically confined plasma. It is now clear tha...
