Research Abstract

Turbulence and transport of magnetically-confined plasmas were investigated, by focusing upon the global and dynamical relation between gradient and flux. The hysteresis response in gradient-flux relation, which depends on the external heating power, was discovered. This is the outstanding achievement that renews the conventional picture of plasma transport. Physics basis for this new discovery was studied. The new thermodynamical force in phase space was studied, expanding the framework of conventional transport theory. Global motion of turbulence clump was investigated theoretically and experimentally. A large-scale fluctuation, the correlation length of which extends over the plasma column, was discovered. By use of basic experiment device PANTA, the nonlinear interaction, localized in space and time, was observed and the control of turbulence by external global electric field was demonstrated. These achievements show the central theme for future research.
