I wonder if there isn't a stable chamber shape that promotes turbulence in a controlled manner in order to prevent it getting out of hand? A little bit like the dimples on a golf ball create micro pockets of turbulence promoting laminar flow.

Unknown. There were attempts into that general idea, one of them is the polywell, but I don't know too much about it.
