Drift-dissipation (DD) instability of non-uniform plasma in known
experiments is identified with its linear threshold theory. Abnormal
wave convection of the plasma, which considerably surpasses its
classical outflow, is also measured. However, stimulated by experiments
various theoretical models overlooked the phenomena of abnormal plasma
flow, which was called to explain that instability. This and previous
works (see refs. in the text) devoted to construction of nonlinear
theory of the DD instability, which is coordinated with recovery of
anomalous wave plasma and thermal electron convection. Generalization
of asymptotic decomposition represents some kind of regularization of
the perturbation theory. The normal functions, connecting, for example,
amplitudes of wave fluctuations of electric potential with amplitudes
of density fluctuations, include dissipative parts (i.e. influence of
electron-ion friction responsible for instability of drift waves), which
result in a phase difference between them and, as result, in abnormal
wave convection of plasma. Convection of electron heat is similarly
investigated. Correlation between failure of phases and abnormal
convection is proved to be true by experiment. Nonlinear DD structure,
studied in a series of done works, includes drift waves unstable in the
linear theory, their fading maximum harmonics and zero-frequency modes,
which are the beatings of unstable waves. As a result of research of
stability of nonlinear stationary modes it is received, that owing to
strong nonlinear connection of unstable waves by means of zero-frequency
modes, these modes together with some drift waves fade. The dominant drift
wave, which is stabilized by of energy in the maximum harmonics, survives.
A wave vector of the dominant wave grows together with the after-threshold
parameter, which could be represented as the external magnetic field
(effect of reorganization of waves). This has essential influence on the
coefficient of the plasma convection which changes in oscillating fashion
depending on confining magnetic field at given gradient after-threshold.
The serious deviation of the threshold frequency of DD instability from
the linear law of a dispersion (with respect to the azimuthal component
of the wave number), accounting for perturbations of electron temperature
and also for non-potential nature of the equations, which does not have
an initial form for possessing vortices solutions, allows one to refuse
research of excitation of whirlwinds. Research of the influence
non-potential property on excitation of DD structures at final
β≤νei / ωHe
gives an opportunity to carry over
results on non-linear DD structures and anomalous flow to studies of the
role of boundary oscillations and drift waves inside the core of
thermonuclear plasma under magnetic confinement.
