Phase transition between turbulence and zonal flows in the Hasegawa-Wakatani system.
The Hasegawa-Wakatani system is a simplified model for instability-driven 2D turbulence in the edge of tokamak magnetised plasmas [1]. In this system, a dissipative drift-wave linear instability is generated by a background density gradient, which acts as...
