Abstract
The ion gyroradius scaling of ion thermal transport caused by ion-temp erature-gradient-driven turbulence is studied with a global fluid simu lation code in three-dimensional toroidal geometry. It is found that t he effective conductivity scales like the ion gyroradius (gyro-Bohm sc aling).
