  31. Conclusion Both natural and externally induced flows have similar impact on breaking and tilting eddies Tilting and breaking depends on shear rate and shearing rate needs to be larger than some limit to break turbulent eddies, as confirmed in both ohmic and biasing Experiments. The multi-resolution optical flow approach has been implemented to reconstruct the velocity vector field. Before biasing the generation of Reynold stress due to symmetry breaking (tilting) is helpful to induce Low-Frequency Zonal Flows, which could be beneficial to reach the biasing H-mode.
