Drift wave solitons and zonal flow: implications for staircase formation
The self-consistent nonlinear interaction of drift waves (DWs) and zonal flow (ZF) is investigated using nonlinear gyrokinetic theory, with both spontaneous excitation and beat-driving of ZF by DWs treated on the same footing. DW solitons are formed in nonlinear DW–ZF interactions and are confined b...
