Abstract

Vortex-like coherent structures are observed in the edge plasma of ohmically heated ADITYA tokamak [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1375 (1992)]. The structures are observed on statistical basis when the floating potential fluctuations are analyzed using conditional averaging technique. The structures, which have dipole nature, experience stretching until their radial isolation across the limiter is destroyed. The potential fluctuation also shows non-Gaussian statistics indicating intermittency in broadband turbulence of the edge plasma.
