Smooth transition of neoclassical diffusion from the banana to Pfirsch--Schluter regime

Journal Article · · Phys. Fluids; (United States)
OSTI ID:7285222

It is shown that neoclassical transport previously obtained by numerical evaluation of variational procedures can be reproduced analytically by taking account of the energy dependence of the collision and bounce frequencies through the separation of velocity space into banana, plateau, and Pfirsch--Schluter regimes.
