摘要：

A new class of bifurcation of the momentum balance equations for a tokamak plasma is presented. The solution exhibits a monopolar localized jet of E X B flow. The jet is generated by the reduction of turbulent viscosity due to E X B velocity shear. Strong jets of localized plasma flow have been observed in tokamaks as a precursor to the development of a transport barrier region with reduced turbulent transport. The jet solution is shown to fit well with the experimental observations.
