Understandings of turbulent plasma have been developed along with nuclear fusion research for more than a half century. Long international research has produced discoveries concerning turbulent plasma that allow us to notice the hidden nature and physics questions that could contribute to other scientific fields and the development of technologies. Guiding concepts have been established up to now that stimulate investigations on turbulent plasma. Research based on concepts concerning symmetry breaking and global linkage requires observing the entire field of plasma turbulence for an ultimate understanding of plasma. This article reviews the achievements as well as contemporary problems regarding turbulence experiments associated with strongly magnetized plasmas in the last and present century, and introduces forthcoming experimental issues, including new diagnostics and physics-oriented devices related to plasma turbulence.
半个多世纪以来，人们一直在进行核聚变研究，对湍流等离子体的认识也随之发展。长期的国际研究已经发现了有关湍流等离子体的一些现象，这些现象使我们注意到了隐藏的自然规律和物理问题，这些问题可能有助于其他科学领域和技术的发展。迄今为止，已经确立了一些指导概念，这些概念激发了对湍流等离子体的研究。基于对称破缺和全局联系概念的研究需要观察整个等离子体湍流领域，才能最终理解等离子体。本文回顾了上个世纪和本世纪与强磁化等离子体相关的湍流实验的成就和当代问题，并介绍了即将出现的实验问题，包括与等离子体湍流相关的新诊断和面向物理的设备。
