Abstract
The transport processes in edge (collisional) plasmas of tokamaks with smoo th profiles of macroscopic plasma parameters and induced poloidal and toroi dal plasma flows, are considered. The toroidal and poloidal velocities of p articles, the radial electric field and the ion heat flux are derived. It i s shown that forces, induced by radio frequency waves, plasma turbulence or neutral beam injection, can be used to control the poloidal and toroidal p lasma velocities, as well as ion heat conductivity, in a wide range of thes e values.
