Abstract:What have the probability for fine weather in summer and the possibility for
a future use of nuclear fusion as a practically unlimited and clean energy
source got in common? The answer is in the particular nature underlying both
physical systems: both the atmosphere and hot magnetized fusion plasmas are
determined by similar processes of structure formation in quasi-two-dimensional
periodic nonlinear dynamical systems. Self-organization of waves and vortices
on small scales in both cases leads to large-scale f… Show more
