Effects of profiles on microinstabilities in tokamaks

Turbulent transport of heat and particles significantly degrades the confinement in tokamaks. Whilst the confinement improves in larger devices, these are more expensive and the economic viability of future fusion power plants depends upon understanding turbulence so that operating scenarios can be...
