Abstract
Fractal structure of the edge turbulence and enhanced turbulent transport have been studied in the tokamak HYBTOK-II with a variation of the rotating helical magnetic field (RHF) frequency in the range 5–30 kHz. Edge fluctuations have non-Gaussian statistics caused by intermittent bursts with a time scale of 40–100 µs. The variation in the RHF frequency has a selective effect on the fractal structure of edge turbulence and the turbulent flux, demonstrating a selective control of the transport process. A delayed synchronization control of resonant drift wave modes by the RHF is considered as a candidate mechanism to explain the dependence of the effect on the RHF frequency.
