摘要：

The interaction between sheared ExB flows and drift wave turbulence is investigated numerically with both two- and three-dimensional models. TWO dimensional turbulence always suppresses itself by generating strong flow shear layers. The three dimensional cases do not exhibit this scenario. The implication is that ExB flow shear generation by turbulence is weak or nonexistent for tokamak edge plasmas, so that confinement regime transitions would have to come from self consistent properties of the neoclassical equilibrium.
