The aim of this proposal is to advance in the understanding of turbulent transport in | |||
magnetically confined fusion plasmas by studying the topology and dynamics of global flows. We will | |||
tackle concrete problems in three broad research areas of toroidally confined plasmas: topology of | |||
structures in the presence of turbulence (or, in short, "the topology of flows"), non-diffusive transport, | |||
and transitions to improved confinement regimes. Below, we summarize the concrete | |||
objectives in each of the aforementioned research lines, as well as progress made to date. | |||
