Resumo

The common physics elements behind various transport barrier theories and simulations, and the related experimental observations mainly from tokamaks, are discussed. These include: a hierarchy of the E×B shear effects on turbulence, the role of q profiles, the electron thermal transport mechanism, basic transport barrier dynamics, and the causality of transitions and the possible role of turbulence generated zonal flows.
