Description
Meso-scale structures, driven by curvature and gradB effects, like blobs and ELMs play a very important role in edge and SOL plasma transport in tokamaks. Here we discuss rather simple model describing the formation of blobs. The model is based on coupled drift-wave and ballooning effects. Both analytic and preliminary numerical results are reported.
