• Numerical simulations and stochastic modeling of intermittent fluctuations in magnetized plasmas 

      Decristoforo, Gregor (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-05-21)
      The exhaust of particles and heat in the boundary of contemporary magnetic confinement experiments remains to this day a major obstacle on the road to commercially viable fusion energy production. It is recognized, that coherent structures of hot and dense plasma, called blobs or filaments, are the dominant mechanism for cross-field particle transport. These filaments are created by plasma turbulence ...
