Abstract
The transport processes in edge (collisional) plasmas of tokamaks with smooth profiles of macroscopic plasma parameters and induced poloidal and toroidal plasma flows are considered. The toroidal and poloidal v elocities of particles, the radial electric field and the ion heat flu x are derived. It is shown that forces, induced by radio frequency wav es, plasma turbulence or neutral beam injection, can be used to contro l the poloidal and toroidal plasma velocities, as well as ion heat con ductivity, in a wide range of these values.
