Recent Advance in Plasma Turbulence Theory Research

Progress of the research on the zonal flows in tokamak plasma turbulence is surveyed,especially it is reviewed that the zonal flows observed in the experiments and numerical simulations on atmosphere turbulence and ocean turbulence and the discovery of H-mode in tokamak experiments how lead the researchers in magnetic confinement fusion community to find out the existence of the zonal flow in tokamak plasma turbulence and subsequently give the experimental verification of its existence.Finally,the results of our research on zonal flow generation and evolution in resistive-g mode turbulence are presented in brief.
