Abstract
This paper presents the evidence for the role of turbulence-driven poloidal flow generation in the L-H transition induced by a turbulent heating pulse on the HT-6M tokamak. It is found that the poloidal flow υθ plays a key role in developing the electric field Er and triggering the transition. The acceleration of υθ across the transition is clearly correlated with the enhancement of the Reynolds stress gradient.
