Abstract

A phenomenological theory of drift type turbulence in inhomogeneous magnetized plasma is developed in the spirit of the Kolmogorov spectrum of hydrodynamic turbulence. We model the spectrum in terms of subspectra: production, equilibrium and dissipation. Different nonlinearities and either weak or strong turbulence characterize different subspectra.
