Zonal flow and GAM dynamics and associated transport characteristics in reversed shear tokamaks

Miyato, Naoaki; Kishimoto, Yasuaki; Li, J.*

Zonal flow behaviour and its effect on turbulent transport in reversed shear tokamaks are investigated by global nonlinear simulation of ion temperature gradient driven turbulence. When safety factor $$q$$ is reduced, zonal flows in a minimum $$q$$ region change from oscillatory ones to stationary ones and suppress the turbulent transport effectively. This result indicates that the change of zonal flow behaviour in the minimum $$q$$ region may trigger the formation of ion transport barriers.
