Banana drift transport in tokamaks with ripple
Abstract
Ripple transport in tokamaks is discussed for the "banana drift" collisionality regime, which lies below the ripple plateau regime treated earlier. The physical mechanisms that dominate banana drift transport are found to differ from those considered in previous work on this regime, and consequently the resulting transport coefficients can differ by several orders of magnitude. © 1982 American Institute of Physics.
