Theory of plasma transport in toroidal confinement systems
F. L. Hinton,Richard D Hazeltine +1 more
TL;DR: A review of magnetized-plasma transport theory can be found in this paper, with a focus on the application to axisymmetric tokamak-type confinement systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Transport in Toroidal Confinement Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a variational principle for the rate of irreversible entropy production in axisymmetric toroidal confinement systems was derived by employing the full Fokker-Planck collision operator, including both like and unlike species collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Island bootstrap current modification of the nonlinear dynamics of the tearing mode
TL;DR: A kinetic theory for the nonlinear evolution of a magnetic island in a collisionless plasma confined in a toroidal magnetic system is presented in this paper, where an asymptotic analysis of a Grad-Shafranov equation including neoclassical effects such as island bootstrap current defines an equation for the time dependence of the island width.
Journal ArticleDOI
A four‐field model for tokamak plasma dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of reduced magnetohydrodynamics is constructed from moments of the Fokker-Planck equation, using familiar aspect-ratio approximations but allowing for evolution as slow as the diamagnetic drift frequency, thereby including certain finite Larmor radius effects, pressure gradient terms in a generalized Ohm's law, and plasma compressibility, including the divergence of both parallel and perpendicular flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotation of a toroidally confined, collisional plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the driftkinetic equation is considered from the viewpoint of the ion parallel flow U and the radial gradients of density, temperature, and electrostatic potential; this relation is derived and compared to similar relations for collisionless regimes.
