Turbulence and Anomalous Transport in Magnetized Plasmas: Hints from the Reversed Field Pinch Configuration

Abstract

Coherent structures are observed to emerge from turbulence background in the edge region of plasmas confined in Reversed Field Pinch configurations. These structures have features reminiscent of single vortices in ordinary fluids and their versus of rotation depends on the local shear of the plasma mean velocity.
