12. 小菅 佑輔, How the Propagation of Heat-Flux Modulations Triggers ExB Flow Pattern Formation, 55th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics, 2013.11, E × B flow patterns are often observed to self-organize in magnetized plasmas. Recently, a new class of E×B flow pattern, called an ‘E×B staircase’, was observed in a simulation study using the full-f flux driven GYSELA code. Here, E × B staircases are quasi-regular steady patterns of localized shear layers and temperature profile corrugations. The shear layers are interspaced between regions of turbulent avalanching of the size of several correlation length (∼ 10∆c). In this work, a theory to describe the formation of such E × B staircases from a bath of stochastic avalanches is presented, based on analogy of staircase formation to jam formation in traffic flow. Namely, staircase formation is viewed as a heat flux ‘jam’ that causes profile corrugation, which is analogous to a traffic jam that causes corrugations in the local car density in a traffic flow. To model such an effect in plasmas, a finite response time τ is introduced, during which instantaneous heat flux relaxes to the mean heat flux, determined by symmetry constraints. The response time introduced here is an analogue of drivers’ response time in traffic flow dynamics. It is shown that the extended model describes a heat flux ‘jam’ and profile corrugation, which appears as an instability, in analogy to the way a clustering instability leads to a traffic jam. Such local amplification of heat and profile corrugations can lead to the formation of E × B staircases. The scale length that gives the maximum growth rate falls in the mesoscale range and is comparable to the staircase step spacing..

29. Y. Kosuga, Interplay among 3D flows in turbulent plasmas, 3rd Asia Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics, 2019.11, The helicity of flow field is an important quantity for describing topological feature of turbulent fluids and plasmas. In this work, we discuss how helicity is determined in turbulent plasmas, by considering drift wave turbulence and parallel velocity gradient driven turbulence as concrete examples. Helicity evolution for each turbulence is derived and compared against simulation data. Links between plasma helicity and transport channels, such as particle transport and momentum transport, are demonstrated. Several applications, including the excitation of 3D flow patterns in fusion plasmas and dynamo action in astrophysical plasmas are discussed..
