Abstract

Progress in the theory of plasma turbulence and transport, in collaboration with simulation research and experimental observations, is explained, putting emphasis on the nonlinear instability mechanisms, interaction with meso-scale structures such as zonal flow, transition, and statistical properties. Examples include turbulent fluctuations screened by meso-scale fluctuations, turbulence transition induced by nonlinear interplay between different classes of turbulence, and statistical description and transition probabilities. The self-regulating mechanisms of global plasma structure and turbulence are addressed, and insights into the generation of improved confinement states are addressed. This progress in the understanding of turbulence and structure formation illustrates the advancement of the physics of plasma as an important branch of modern physics.
