Abstract
Zonal flow behaviour and its effect on turbulent transport in reversed magnetic shear tokamaks are investigated by global simulations of electrostatic ion temperature gradient driven turbulence. When the safety factor q is reduced. zonal flows in a minimum q region change from oscillatory to stationary and suppress the turbulent transport effectively This result indicates that the change of zonal flow behaviour in the minimum q region may trigger the formation of ion transport barriers.
