Careful treatments of these effects enable turbulence simulations satisfying the conservation of the energy and the particle number. The new simulation disclosed new phenomena, and it is found that (1) turbulence spreading is induced by avalanche like phnemena consisting of bursty heat transport and local flattening of pressure profiles, and (2) nonlinearly driven E
B flows become global shear flows with scale lengths of about 30 ion gyro radii.

When non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations are imposed in axisymmetric tokamaks, broken axisymmetry induces the neoclassical viscosity, and affects momentum transport and resulting plasma rotation profiles. In this work, we estimate the neoclassical toroidal viscosity using full-f gyrokinetic simulations, and verify calculation methods and obtained results. We discuss the parameter dependency of the neoclassical toroidal viscosity in the presence of small resonant magnetic perturbations, based on comparisons against analytic theories and neoclassical transport codes.
