Transport of a multiple-ion species plasma in the Pfirsch--Schlueter regime

Journal Article · · Phys. Fluids; (United States)
OSTI ID:7322221
The classical parallel friction coefficients, which relate the collisional friction forces to the flow of particles and heat along the magnetic field, are calculated for a multiple ion species plasma. In the short mean-free-path regime, the neoclassical Pfirsch--Schlueter transport coefficients for a toroidally confined multispecies plasma are computed in terms of the classical friction coefficients. The dependence of the neoclassical cross-field transport on the equilibration of the parallel ion temperature profiles is determined.
