The impact of E × B shear on microtearing based transport in spherical tokamaks by B.S. Patel, M.R. Hardman, D. Kennedy, M. Giacomin, D. Dickinson, C.M. Roach

“…Equilibrium E  ×  B sheared flows act to advect the θ _0 of a mode in time, providing a mechanism to reduce the linear drive and suppress the transport from modes where the growth rate is strongly peaked in θ _0 (Roach et al 2009 Plasma Phys. …”
