Radial transport with perturbed magnetic field
- Institute for Fusion Studies, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712 (United States)
It is pointed out that the viscosity coefficient describing radial transport of toroidal angular momentum is proportional to the second power of the gyro-radius—like the corresponding coefficients for particle and heat transport—regardless of any geometrical symmetry. The observation is widely appreciated, but worth emphasizing because some literature gives the misleading impression that asymmetry can allow radial moment transport in first-order.
