Effect of time-varying flow-shear on the nonlinear stability of the boundary of magnetized toroidal plasmas

We propose a phenomenological yet general model in a form of extended complex Ginzburg-Landau equation to understand edge-localized modes (ELMs), a class of quasi-periodic fluid instabilities in the boundary of toroidal magnetized high-temperature plasmas. The model reproduces key dynamical features...
