The 7th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group (APTWG) meeting

Abstract

This conference report summarizes the contributions to, and discussions at, the 7th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group Meeting held at Nagoya University, Japan, during 5–8 June 2017. The topics of the meeting were organized under four main headings: (1) turbulence and blob at the boundary of magnetic topology, (2) model reduction and experiments for validation, (3) mode competition in turbulence and MHD driven by energetic particle, (4) mechanism determining plasma flows and their impact on transport and MHD. The Young Researchers Forum which was held in this meeting is also described in this report.

Joint meeting of 9th Asia Pacific-Transport Working Group (APTWG) & EU-US Transport Task Force (TTF) workshop

“…The joint meeting was postponed due to the pandemic of COVID-19 and was held online as a virtual conference in 2021. This meeting is a series of APTWG meetings, which started at NIFS Japan in 2011 [1] and has been held every year 2011 -2018 and every two years afterward in China, Korea, or Japan [2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Summary of the 8th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group (APTWG) Meeting

“…The 8th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group (APTWG) Meeting was held at the Engineering & Technical College of Chengdu University of Technology (ETCCUT), Leshan, China, from 12 to 15 June 2018. This is a series of APTWG meetings started at NIFS Japan in 2011 [1] that has been held every year in China, Korea or Japan [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The goal of APTWG is a predictive understanding of the basic mechanisms responsible for particle, momentum and energy transport in magnetically confined plasmas, and ultimately, predicting and even controlling of the transport processes.…”
