Transport barrier onset and edge turbulence shortfall in fusion plasmas

A central problem in magnetized fusion plasmas is to understand whether the plasma edge sustains a turbulent state and transitions to improved confinement. The authors simulate the detailed organization of turbulence from the primitive flux-driven kinetic equations including plasma-solid interaction...
