The analytical theory of turbulence suppression by shear flow (Y. Z. Zhang and S. M. Mahajan, Phys. Fluids B 4 , 1385 (1992)) is extended to analyze the combined actions of flows that have time-varying as well as static components. It is found that each component, appearing alone, may yield the same suppression level. However, when both components co-exist, either tends to diminish the suppression caused by the other in certain parameter ranges—a conclusion that agrees with recently published simulation results by Maeyama (Phys. Plasmas 17 , 062305 (2010)). In particular, the mutual exclusiveness is maximized as the strengths of the two components become comparable. The adopted averaging method of the asymptotic theory reveals that it is the coupling between the time-varying shear flow and the induced time-varying relative orbit motion that causes the asymmetry of the two components in turbulence suppression. The numerical results based on a Floquet analysis are also presented for comparison. The implications of the theory to L-H transition on tokamaks are discussed, especially, regarding experimental observations of the disappearance of the geodesic acoustic mode in H phases.
