Abstract

The nonlinear coherent structure of energy exchange modes appear during the saturation of the modified explosive instability which indicates that the nonlinear ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) coupling near threshold under various tokamak plasma parameters give rise to solitons and vortices, which are structure elements of subcritical turbulence. The 2D inhomogeneity of magnetic tokamak field and the influence of dispersion effects of the fourth order are presented.
