Hazeltine, R D; Catto, P J

A variational formulation of transport for a closed field line, large aspect ratio bumpy torus in the low collision frequency limit is presented. The relatively large radial excursions made by those particles with canceling magnetic and electric poloidal drifts requires generalization of previous neoclassical techniques. General expressions for the transport coefficients of both charge species are given. Explicit numerical coefficients are evaluated under certain simplifying assumptions for both the banana and non-banana species.
