Zusammenfassung: Formation of nonlinear structures in drift-Alfvén turbulence is investigated in the often complex edge geometries of stellarator and tokamak configurations, by analysis of drift wave turbulence simulations using a model in which three-dimensional magnetic geometries are approximated. The structures of parallel mode extension, radially sheared zonal flows and perpendicular mode spectra are highlighted in particular for three-dimensional stellarator magnetic fields and shaped tokamaks. Specific characteristics of advanced stellarators in comparison to (lower aspect ratio) circular tokamaks are a less pronounced ballooning structure of the modes, a strong influence of local magnetic shear on amplitude structure and average, and stronger level of zonal flows due to lower geodesic curvature.
