Dynamics of the L (yields) H transition, VH-mode evolution, edge localized modes and R.F. driven confinement control in tokamaks

摘要

Several novel theoretical results related to L --> H transition physics, VH-mode evolution, Edge Localized Modes and active confinement control are presented. Critical issues are identified, results are discussed and important unresolved questions are listed. The basic physics is discussed in the contexts of current experiments and of ITER.
