3. The [formula omitted] flow is not the only plasma flow, and it need not be codirectional with other flows, including bulk plasma motion. However, it is the [formula omitted] flow that unequivocally suppresses turbulence and plays the same role in plasma equations as the mean and turbulent flows of nonionized models. Distinctions between bulk plasma motion and [formula omitted] motion are evident in toroidal geometry. Turbulence suppression by flow shear is treated for toroidal geometry in T. S. Hahm and K. H. Burrell, Phys. Plasmas PHPAEN 2, 1648 (1995).
