Abstract

The influence of the shape of a confining magnetic field in closed toroidal flux surface geometry on drift wave turbulence is reviewed. In particular, the mechanisms of turbulent mode driving, damping and coupling are identified and implications for divertor tokamak and stellarator edge transport are discussed.
