The understanding of transport phenomena is one of the most challenging tasks in fusion plasmas. Among transport mechanisms, chaotic transport of magnetic field lines acquires a crucial importance due to the strong anisotropy that governs the plasma transport. Despite their apparent "randomness", chaotic magnetic fields lines display a remarkable amount of structures. These structures have a fundamental impact on the plasma transport. For the study of magnetic field dynamics, we exploit the so-called Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs)[1].

Abstract
The understanding of transport phenomena is one of the most challenging tasks in fusion plasmas. Among transport mechanisms, chaotic transport of magnetic field lines acquires a crucial importance due to the strong anisotropy that governs the plasma transport. Despite their apparent "randomness", chaotic magnetic fields lines display a remarkable amount of structures. These structures have a fundamental impact on the plasma transport. For the study of magnetic field dynamics, we exploit the so-called Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs)[1].File in questo prodotto:
