Experiments of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECH) power scan in KSTAR tokamak clearly demonstrate that both the cut-off density for non-local heat transport (NLT) and the threshold density for intrinsic rotation reversal can be determined by the collisionality. We demonstrate that NLT can be affected by ECH, and the intrinsic rotation direction follows the changes of NLT. The cut-off density of NLT and threshold density for rotation reversal can be significantly extended by ECH. The poloidal flow of turbulence in core plasma is in the electron and the ion diamagnetic direction in ECH plasmas and high density OH plasma, respectively. The auto-power spectra of density fluctuation are almost the same in the outer region for both ECH and OH plasmas. On the other hand, in the core region of ECH plasmas, the power spectra of the density fluctuations are broader than those of OH plasma. All these observations in macroscopic parameters and micro fluctuations suggest a possible link between the macro phenomena and the structural changes in micro-fluctuations.

In the cold pulse experiments in J-TEXT, not only are the rapid electron temperature increases in core observed, but also the steep rises of inner density are found. Moreover, the core toroidal rotation is also accelerated during the non-local transp
ort process of electron temperature. These new findings of cold pulse experiments in J-TEXT reveal that turbulence spreading is the possible mechanism for the non-local transport dynamics.
We report on first evidence of wave activity during neutral beam heating in KSTAR plasmas: 40 kHz magnetic fluctuations with a toroidal mode number of n=1. Our analysis suggests this a beta-induced Alfven eigenmode resonant with the q=1 surface. A ki
netic analysis, when coupled with electron temperature measurements from electron cyclotron emission and ion/electron temperature ratios from crystallography, enables calculation of the frequency evolution, which is in agreement with observations. Complementary detailed MHD modelling of the magnetic configuration and wave modes supports the BAE mode conclusion, by locating an n=1 mode separated from the continuum in the core region. Finally, we have computed the threshold to marginal stability for a range of ion temperature profiles. These suggest the BAE can be driven unstable by energetic ions when the ion temperature radial gradient is sufficiently large. Our findings suggest that mode existence could be used as a form of inference for temperature profile consistency in the radial interval of the mode, thereby extending the tools of MHD spectroscopy.
In cold pulse experiments in J-TEXT, the ion transport shows similar non-local response as the electron transport channel. Very fast ion temperatures decreases are observed in the edge, while the ion temperature in core promptly begin to rise after t
he injection of cold pulse. Moreover, the cutoff density is also found for the ion non-local effect. The experimental observed density fluctuation in a high frequency ranging from 500 kHz to 2 MHz is obviously reduced in the whole plasma region during non-local transport (NLT) phase.
Tokamak plasmas rotate even without external injection of momentum. A Doppler backscattering system installed at MAST has allowed this intrinsic rotation to be studied in Ohmic L-mode and H-mode plasmas, including the first observation of intrinsic r
otation reversals in a spherical tokamak. Experimental results are compared to a novel 1D model, which captures the collisionality dependence of the radial transport of toroidal angular momentum due to the effect of neoclassical flows on turbulent fluctuations. The model is able to accurately reproduce the change in sign of core toroidal rotation, using experimental density and temperature profiles from shots with rotation reversals as inputs and no free parameters fit to experimental data.
The effect of small deviations from a Maxwellian equilibrium on turbulent momentum transport in tokamak plasmas is considered. These non-Maxwellian features, arising from diamagnetic effects, introduce a strong dependence of the radial flux of co-cur
rent toroidal angular momentum on collisionality: As the plasma goes from nearly collisionless to weakly collisional, the flux reverses direction from radially inward to outward. This indicates a collisionality-dependent transition from peaked to hollow rotation profiles, consistent with experimental observations of intrinsic rotation.
