Transport Taskforce Workshop TTF 2009: San Diego, California April 28-May 1, 2009
Purpose of the Meeting
The ultimate goal of the work of the Transport Task Force is a predictive understanding of plasma transport leading, in the end, to transport control. As we have pointed out previously, to achieve success in transport science, it is essential to characterize local fluctuations and transport in toroidal plasma, to understand the basic mechanisms responsible for transport, and ultimately, to control these transport processes. These goals must be pursued in multiple areas, including ion thermal transport, electron thermal transport, particle transport, momentum transport, and the physics of the H mode and edge pedestal. Demonstrating our understanding requires multiple, successful, quantitative tests of theory, simulation and modelling using experiments in fusion-relevant and basic plasmas.
Meeting Format
This year, the TTF Workshop will consist of:
i.) (New!) Special Plenary Topical Contributed Sessions
ii.) Working Group Sessions
iii.) Posters
This year we plan to hold two special interdisciplinary plenary contributed sessions. The topics of these sessions are Transport and Turbulence Near Marginality and Edge-Core Interactions. Refer to the Workshop Topics link for further details.
