A summary of the 10th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group (APTWG) meeting

Abstract

This conference report summarizes contributed papers and discussions presented at the 10th Asia-Pacific Transport Working Group (APTWG) held at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea from 13 to 16 June 2023. This year, technical working groups were organized under the following five topics: (A) isotope effects on the transport and physics of isotope mixture plasma, (B) turbulence spreading and coupling in the core-edge scrape-off layer, (C) interplay between MHD topology/instability and turbulent transport (covering the negative triangularity issue), (D) interactions between energetic-particle-driven instability and transport (focusing on cross-scale coupling physics), and (E) model reduction and experiments for validation. Summaries of significant progress from the presentations in the five technical working groups are given.
