Description

Equations have been derived which describe the nonlinear behaviour of drift waves in the framework of weak turbulence theory. The nonlinear terms arise from (nonlinear) electric and diamagmetic drifts. The turbulence level and the diffusion coefficient are estimated, and good agreement is found with experimental results
