The sheared flow is generated by the turbulence itself via the Reynolds Stress mechanism.
The sheared flow is generated by the turbulence itself via the Reynolds Stress mechanism.
Thus, the H-mode is the consequence of a self-organizing process in the plasma.
The details of this mechanism are the subject of ongoing studies.
