However, it is found that transport often exceeds Neoclassical expectations by an order of magnitude or more (also see [[Non-diffusive transport]]).
However, it is found that transport often exceeds Neoclassical expectations by an order of magnitude or more (also see [[Non-diffusive transport]]).
The difference between actual transport and the Neoclassical expectation is called "anomalous" transport.
The difference between actual transport and the Neoclassical expectation is called "anomalous" transport.
It is generally assumed that the anomalous component of transport is generated by turbulence.
It is generally assumed that the anomalous component of transport is generated by turbulence driven by micro-instabilities.
