Abstract
A model for the University of Texas turbulent torus is described. The prediction of the model shows a strong skin effect, and is in agreement with the experimental data if one saturates the Buneman instability by using the electron-trapping condition and the ionsound instability by using the anomalous collision frequency , which correlates with ion tail formation. An interpretation of the laser-scattering temperature measurements is proposed.
