Turbulent transport in rotating tokamak plasmas

Small scale turbulence in a magnetically confined fusion plasma drives energy and particle transport which determine the confinement. The plasma in a tokamak experiment has a toroidal rotation which may be driven externally, but can also arise spontaneously from turbulent momentum transport. This th...
