The neoclassical transport of toroidal momentum in tokamaks

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5006721· OSTI ID:5006721
Allowing for the presence of an expected moderate concentration ({approximately}10%) of low energy ions in excess of the Maxwellian distribution causes a dramatic change in the neoclassical prediction for momentum transport, leading to agreement in magnitude with experiment. 20 refs.
