Abstract

Particle diffusion coefficient due to drift fluctuation is given by (13.12) \(D = (\varDelta x)^2\gamma _k = (\varDelta x)^2/\tau _c =\gamma _k /k^2_x\) in Sect. 13.1. The more accurate radial width \(\varDelta x\) of eigenmode of ion temperature gradient driven drift turbulence depends on the shear. The diffusion coefficient in the strong shear configuration is Bohm type and the diffusion coefficient in the weak shear configuration is gyroBohm type \(D\sim (T/eB)(\rho _i/L_p)\). Loss by magnetic fluctuation is explained in Sect. 13.2. Dimensional analysis of transport and analysis by computer simulation are given by Sects. 13.3 and 13.4 respectively. Hasegawa–Mima–Charney equation (13.41) is derived in Sect. 13.5. Evolution of k spectrum power density is given by (13.64). The condition to generate the zonal flow is given by (13.70) in Sect. 13.5.2. The geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) is explained in Sect. 13.5.3.
