Study of the universality of the probability density function of turbulent fluctuations and fluxes in a linear plasma machine (original) (raw)

This study investigates the universality of the probability density functions (pdfs) of turbulent fluctuations and induced fluxes in a linear plasma machine. The research highlights the significance of large radial transport events in plasma dynamics and establishes evidence for the statistical similarity of these pdfs across various fusion devices. Experimental findings demonstrate that turbulent fluxes exhibit a consistent canonical shape resembling the Bramwell, Holdsworth, and Pinton (BHP) distribution, suggesting the presence of underlying self-similar behavior in the turbulence dynamics.
