New finding may explain heat loss in fusion reactors
Note what is required to do something like this:<p>You need to solve a 5-dimensional (+ time) nonlinear integro-differential equation. Not only that, but you need to keep it going for a long enough time for turbulent fluctuations to average out, and cover both ion and electron scales (that last bit is the big new contribution here).<p>And once you&#x27;re done with that, you need to repeat it at even higher resolution as evidence that what you&#x27;re seeing is physical.<p>Bravo!
