Abstract

A brief discussion is given of some current topics in the theory of plasma turbulence, including: simulation diagnostics and methodology; second-order statistical closures, with emphasis on realizability and applications to drift-wave paradigms; higher-order statistics, including the DIA-based kurtosis, PDF methods, and coherent structures; Onsager symmetries and entropy balances in the presence of turbulence; variational approaches to transport; renormalization-group techniques; nonlinearly self-sustained turbulence; and transport near marginal stability. Key areas for future research are indicated.
