Abstract
Three-dimensional nonlinear simulations of drift-ballooning modes in a torus including electromagnetic effects are described. When diamagnetic effects are weak, the self-consistent magnetic fluctuations in the model lead to a drastic enhancement of the transport well below the ideal ballooning instability limit.Keywords
