Gyro-Bohm Scaling

A turbulence scaling in which bigger machines confine relatively better.

Glossary of Fusion & Plasma TermsUpdated 2026-08-11

Gyro-Bohm scaling predicts transport falling as the ratio of gyroradius to machine size shrinks, so larger (or higher-field) machines confine relatively better. It informs how confinement scales with size and field.
