How nonlinear spectral back transfer limits the temporal coherency of zonal modes?
Rameswar Singh, P H Diamond
Zonal modes are central to magnetic confinement because their radial shears regulate turbulence and transport. While the generation of these flows is well understood, the mechanism…

On How Avalanches Penetrate the SOL and Broaden Heat Loads
Y. Kosuga, R. Matsui, P. H. Diamond
Recent experiments reported a correlation between power law core temperature spectra and emission, suggesting that heat avalanches penetrate the SOL. This paper derives a th…

Flux Jamming, Phase Transitions and Layering in Turbulent Magnetized Plasma
P. H. Diamond, Y. Kosuga, P. L. Guillon +1
This paper discusses transport barrier formation and layering as consequences of jam formation. Extensive use is made of analogies with the theory of traffic flow in one dimension.…
