Particle diffusion in toroidally symmetric systems
Since the two fluid equations of a plasma are expressions of momentum conservation, they must hold independent of the mean free path to system size ratio. Diffusion in a toroidally symmetric torus is calculated with the two fluid equations, using Pfirsch-Schlueter diffusion and neoclassical diffusion as examples.
