On Target Pattern Formation in the CHNS system
Qinghao Yan, P. H. Diamond
We study the concentration field in a prescribed 2D Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes (CHNS) system. We formulate a description for the target pattern formation and pattern merging proce…

AE-driven Zonal Modes Produce Transport Barriers and Heat Thermal Ions by Cross-Scale Interactions
Qinghao Yan, P. H. Diamond
In scenarios where a sustained energetic particle source strongly drives toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE), and phase-space transport is insufficient to saturate TAE, this novel th…
