• Intermittent fluctuations in the boundary of magnetically confined fusion plasmas 

      Ahmed, Sajidah (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-10-09)
      Fluctuation-induced transport in the form of hot and dense blob-like filaments is a profound concern for the successful operation of commercially-viable fusion reactors. These turbulent phenomena are inherent in the scrape-off layer (SOL), a region of magnetic field lines intersecting with the material surfaces. These filaments propagate radially outward leading to damaging plasma-wall interaction ...
