Title: E x B shearing rate in quasi-symmetric plasmas

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/304190· OSTI ID:304190

The suppression of turbulence by the E x B shear is studied in systems with quasi-symmetry using the nonlinear analysis of eddy decorrelation previously utilized in finite aspect ratio tokamak plasmas. The analytically derived E x B shearing rate which contains the relevant geometric dependence can be used for quantitative assessment of the fluctuation suppression in stellarators with quasi-symmetry.
