Transport Bifurcation Induced by Sheared Toroidal Flow in Tokamak Plasmas
First-principles numerical simulations are used to describe a transport bifurcation in a differentially rotating tokamak plasma. Such a bifurcation is more probable in a region of zero magnetic shear than one of finite magnetic shear because in the former case the component of the sheared toroidal f...
