Extraction of large-scale coherent structure from plasma turbulence using rake probe and wavelet analysis in a tokamak Rev. Sci. Instrum. 77, 063505 (2006); Vortex-like coherent structures are observed in the edge plasma of ohmically heated ADITYA tokamak ͓ Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1375 ͑1992͔͒. The structures are observed on statistical basis when the floating potential fluctuations are analyzed using conditional averaging technique. The structures, which have dipole nature, experience stretching until their radial isolation across the limiter is destroyed. The potential fluctuation also shows non-Gaussian statistics indicating intermittency in broadband turbulence of the edge plasma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
