Scaling laws for the cutoff wavenumber of the short-wavelength ion-temperature-gradient mode in a Z-pinch
O. Gupta, M. Barnes, F. I. Parra +4
We use a heuristic fluid model to predict the dependence of the cutoff wave number for the short-wavelength ion temperature gradient (SWITG) mode on ion density gradient, ion tempe…

Asymptotic scaling theory of electrostatic turbulent transport in magnetised fusion plasmas
T. Adkins, I. G. Abel, M. Barnes +8
Turbulent transport remains one of the principal obstacles to achieving efficient magnetic confinement in fusion devices. Two of the dominant drivers of the turbulence are microsca…
