Abstract
The importance of the 
flow shear in various enhanced confinement regimes is discussed in terms of the turbulence suppression criterion in general toroidal geometry. This criterion is then further generalized to include the poloidal angle dependence of the equilibrium electrostatic potential. The implication of the recently observed in - out asymmetry in the fluctuation behaviour in DIII-D VH-mode is discussed.
