Dimits shift, avalanche-like bursts, and Solitary propagating structures in the two-field Flux-Balanced Hasegawa-Wakatani model for plasma edge turbulence
Di Qi, Andrew J. Majda, Antoine J. Cerfon
We show that the recently introduced two-field flux-balanced Hasegawa-Wakatani (BHW) model captures the key features of drift-wave turbulent transport mediated by zonal flows obser…
Zonal Jet Creation from Secondary Instability of Drift Waves for Plasma Edge Turbulence
Di Qi, Andrew J. Majda
A new strategy is presented to explain the creation and persistence of zonal flows widely observed in plasma edge turbulence. The core physics in the edge regime of the magnetic-fu…
A Flux-Balanced Fluid Model for Collisional Plasma Edge Turbulence: Numerical Simulations with Different Aspect Ratios
Di Qi, Andrew J. Majda, Antoine J. Cerfon
We investigate the drift wave -- zonal flow dynamics in a shearless slab geometry with the new flux-balanced Hasegawa-Wakatani model. As in previous Hasegawa-Wakatani models, we ob…
A Flux-Balanced Fluid Model for Collisional Plasma Edge Turbulence: Model Derivation and Basic Physical Features
Andrew J. Majda, Di Qi, Antoine J. Cerfon
We propose a new reduced fluid model for the study of the drift wave -- zonal flow dynamics in magnetically confined plasmas. Our model can be viewed as an extension of the classic…
