A flux-balanced fluid model for plasma edge turbulence with coherent zonal jet creation
June 12, 2019
Courant researchers A. J. Majda, D. Qi, and A. J. Cerfon propose a flux-balanced model to improve the understanding of plasma edge turbulence and creation of zonal structures and develop a theory to address the generation and persistence of large-scale coherent flow structures in these models.
