Abstract

SEVERO, J.H.F. et al. Neoclassical ion transport in the edge of axially-symmetric arbitrary cross-section tokamak with plasma subsonic toroidal flows. Braz. J. Phys. [online]. 2002, vol.32, n.1, pp. 13-19. ISSN 0103-9733.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-97332002000100003.

General metrics of large aspect ratio tokamaks is used in the paper. General expressions for the neoclassical poloidal plasma rotation and radial ion heat flux G_Ti are obtained. Their dependence on the squared Mach number a =  is analyzed (here U_zi is the ion toroidal velocity and c_s is the sound velocity, respectively). Some interesting peculiarities of this dependence are emphasized.
