Abstract

The four-wave interaction technique is used to demonstrate the impact of primary electrostatic (drift wave) turbulence on the generation of large-scale electromagnetic structures (blobs). The analysis includes finite ion temperature effects and the associated diamagnetic contributions to the Reynolds stress. The impact of equilibrium plasma density variation on blob propagation is also discussed.
