TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of plasma equilibria, which is a generalization of the notion of magnetic confinement, and show how magnetic confinement can be used to control the motion of charged particles.

Viscous effects in a collisional tokamak plasma with strong rotation
Weston M. Stacey,D.J. Sigmar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the full viscosity tensor for an axisymmetric toroidal plasma in the collisional regime (with strong rotation) is calculated, including gyroviscosity and O(e) poloidal variations over the flux surface, and the resulting viscous force is of sufficient magnitude to account for the radial transfer of toroidal momentum that must be inferred in order to explain the rotation measurements in tokamak experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, an H-mode edge pedestal plasma transport benchmarking exercise was undertaken for a single DIII-D pedestal, where profiles for the edge plasma were obtained from Thomson and charge exchange recombination data averaged over the last 20% of the average 33.53 ms repetition time between type I edge localized modes.
