摘要
This overview summarizes the latest developments in plasma turbulence simulations and their impact on transport modelling. The traditional approach, based on the mixing length estimate, is presented first. The self-regulation of a plasma turbulence through the formation of structures is then emphasized. It is shown that zonal flows and large-scale transport events play an important role. Also the latest results concerning the dimensionless analysis are presented. The implications for transport modelling are then assessed.
