Abstract
Electrode biasing experiments are carried out on the KT-5C tokamak to investigate the effects of the radial electric field E/sub r/ on turbulence. A modestly enhanced E/sub r/ gradient layer is formed at the plasma edge by the electrode biasing. In the E/sub r/ gradient layer, reductions in the fluctuation amplitude, radial correlation length and turbulent particle flux are observed. These results support the theoretical models on the turbulence suppression by decorrelation due to E /spl times/ B flow shear.
