Zonally dominated dynamics and Dimits threshold in curvature-driven ITG turbulence
The saturated state of turbulence driven by the ion-temperature-gradient instability is investigated using a two-dimensional long-wavelength fluid model that describes the perturbed electrostatic potential and perturbed ion temperature in a magnetic field with constant curvature (a 𝑍-pinch) and an e...
