Abstract

It is shown that Kelvin–Helmholtz drive due to shear in parallel flow can modestly enhance the ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven modes in the Columbia Linear Machine [R. Scarmozzino et al., Phys. Fluids 31, 1773 (1988)]. However, this modest enhancement does not substantially alter the large discrepancy between our experimental results and the theoretical estimates of stabilizing levels of transverse flow shear, necessary for stabilization of ITG modes.
