Abstract

The turbulent spatial redistribution of turbulent and mean kinetic energy and its exchange is investigated in the framework of an K-ε model in a magnetized plasma column. The kinetic energy is transferred from the turbulence into the zonal flow around the shear layer. The Reynolds stress profile adjusts to the shear layer, which results in a transport of mean kinetic energy from the region around the shear layer into the shear layer.
