Transport consequences of the wave–particle interactions in the quasilinear plateau (QP) regime are presented. Eulerian approach is adopted to solve the drift kinetic equation that includes the physics of the nonlinear trapping (NT) and QP regimes. The localization of the perturbed distribution simplifies the test particle collision operator. It is shown that a mirror force like term responsible for the flattening of the distribution in the NT regime is subdominant in the QP regime, and controls the transition between these two regimes. Transport fluxes, flux-power relation, and nonlinear damping or growth rate are all calculated. There is no explicit collision frequency dependence in these quantities; however, the width of the resonance does. Formulas that join the asymptotic results of these two regimes to facilitate thermal and energetic particle transport, and nonlinear wave evolution of a single mode are presented.
