Aspects of Turbulent Transport

Abstract

Turbulence is an ubiquitous phenomenon in plasmas, which have usually large amounts of free energy available that can drive the turbulent velocity fluctuations. Universal properties of turbulence are its abilities to mix and to transport. The turbulent transport is often found not to be described by a transport coefficient, as Fick's law suggests. We discuss the consequences of this and the relationship between passive particle and plasma transport, that is mixing and transport.
