Abstract

A non-conventional approach to the theoretical analysis and simulation of turbulent transport processes in magnetized plasmas based on the assumption of self-consistent maintenance of a turbulent plasma in a state sufficiently close to a marginally stable turbulent-relaxed state is discussed. The idea of such an approach was originally formulated in 1964 by A.A. Galeev and L.I. Rudakov but later it faded to the background. In this work, by the example of theoretical models and codes created to describe turbulent transport processes in magnetized plasmas of such systems as magneto-electrostatic traps, “levitated dipole” systems, and tokamaks, an attempt is made to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the approach under discussion.
