摘要
Plasma flow-shear effects on nonlinear saturation of electron drift waves are analyzed in t weak turbulence regime. Flow shear can enhance ion Compton scattering of long-wavelength electron drift waves not only by modifying the beat wave-ion resonance condition, but also via the radial dependence of linear susceptibility. A nonlinear dispersion relation is obtained as a solution of the radially nonlocal nonlinear eigenmode equation. At nonlinear saturation, the spectral intensity of the fluctuations scales with flow shear as (partial derivative V 0-phi/partial derivative r)-2 in addition to the linear dependence on the linear growth rate, and decays according to a power law k(theta)-1.
