Understanding how turbulence drains heat from fusion reactors

Understanding how turbulence drains heat from fusion reactors Princeton NJ (SPX) Feb 24, 2016 - The life of a subatomic particle can be hectic. The charged nuclei and electrons that zip around the vacuum vessels of doughnut-shaped fusion machines known as tokamaks are always in motion. But while that motion helps produce the fusion reactions that could power a new class of electricity generator, the turbulence it generates can also limit those reactions. Now, physicists at the U.S. D ... morehttp://www.spacedaily.com/reports/PPPL_researchers_advance_understanding_of_turbulence_that_drains_heat_from_fusion_reactors_999.html
