Abstract (AI)
Theories of the electric field effect on toroidal plasma confinement are reviewed with the emphasis placed on recent progress in the areas of anomalous transport, structural formation and bifurcation, research which has been motivated by the discovery of improved confinement. Topics include single-particle physics, such as particle orbits or collisional transport, turbulent transport, transport matrix, structural formation and dynamics, bifurcation, and improved confinement.
Key Findings
1
Electric fields are examined through single-particle mechanisms, including particle orbits and collisional transport.
2
Electric fields are linked to structural formation, dynamical evolution, and bifurcation phenomena in confined plasmas.
3
Improved confinement is presented as a central consequence and research driver for understanding electric-field effects.
4
The paper reviews theories explaining how electric fields affect toroidal plasma confinement, emphasizing developments motivated by improved-confinement observations.
5
The review addresses electric-field effects on anomalous turbulent transport and transport-matrix formulations.
