- Using a simple spatially periodical and stationary potential as a model of electrostatic tokamak edge plasma turbulence, we have found recently [1, 2] an anomalous impurity diffusion in this regime. In this contribution, we estimate this diffusion for a more general and realistic form of the potential, which is close to the Hasegawa-Wakatani (HW) potential. As an interesting consequence of the discussed dynamics, we present, possibility of radial electric field generation in the edge turbulence regime. This effect. might play a role in tokamak scenarios with transport barriers.

- In this contribution, the stochastic (E x B) motion of ions in a homogeneous magnetic field and in a spatially periodical electrostatic potential is discussed. This approach is used for the simulation of ion diffusion in potential structures formed at the boundary plasma in tokamaks. Nonintegrability of the system causes the spatial diffusion of ions. Depending on the choice of parameters, this diffusion has either the usual random-walk character, or appears, for sufficiently strong nonlinearity, in the form of Levy walks. The diffusion coefficient is sufficiently high for heavy impurities. Possible further applications are mentioned.

- Using a simple model of tokamak-edge-plasma turbulence in the form of a spatially periodic and time-independent electrostatic potential, we have found recently a new type of anomalous impurity diffusion in this regime [1], [2]. In the present contribution, we estimate this diffusion in the test-particle approach for a real turbulent potential obtained in an experiment. A significant difference in the impurity dynannics between the Hamiltonian and drift approaches is observed. As an interesting consequence of these dynamics, the possibility of radial-electric-field generation in the turbulence regimes appears. This effect can be of importance in scenarios related to transport barriers.

- The concept of ExB flow velocity shear suppression is utterly fundamental in modem fusion research. It is asserted that there are models enabling to understand the physics involved in LH transitions. To improve the understanding of the mechanisms leading to the formation of Transport Barriers, especially the relation between Internal and Edge barriers it is necessary to invoke the issue of electric fields. Edge transport barriers are the feature of the H-mode, the baseline regime of ITER, whereas Internal Transport Barriers are used to develop regimes that might be employed for steady state operation of ITER, definitely beneficial for design and operation of fusion power plants in the future. Their synergy will be addressed. Plasma flows are closely connected to electric fields. Therefore, their role is crucial for understanding of tokamaks aimed at the achievement of fusion energy. This appears in the well known neoclassical theory as the most accomplished and selfconsistent basis for understanding of fusion plasmas. It pertains to the novel concept of zonal flows emerging from the recent development of gyro-kinetic transport codes. The equilibrium poloidal and toroidal flows are also crucial for the concept of the electric field shear suppression of plasma turbulence in tokamaks. Yet, this timely and topical issue has remained largely unaddressed experimentally because of great difficulties in measuring flows in plasmas.
