Effect of magnetic perturbations on turbulence-flow dynamics at the L-H transition on DIII-D

D. M. Kriete, G. R. McKee, L. Schmitz +4

Detailed 2D turbulence measurements from the DIII-D tokamak provide an explanation for how resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) raise the L-H power threshold $P_{\text{LH}}$ [P.…
