Magnetic stochastic perturbations can strongly influence cross-field transport in high β tokamak plasmas. The impact of stochastic magnetic fields on electron heat transport in MAST/MAST-U is studied over a range in collisionality. Different formulae, based on the Rechester-Rosenbluth and the semi-empirical Rebut-Lallia-Walkins models, are used to…
Geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) represent the oscillating counterpart of the zonal flow and can affect transport with their interaction on turbulence eddies. GAMs have been observed in many experiments and modelled under different conditions, but because of their variety of characteristics, we do not yet have a complete picture of their dynamics.…
