M. Taguchi, NEOCLASSICAL TRANSPORT-THEORY FOR TOKAMAK PLASMA WITH ANISOTROPIC TEMPERATURE IN THE BANANA REGIME, Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 67(3), 1998, pp. 863-869
The neoclassical transport theory in a presence of the temperature ani
sotropy in the equilibrium distribution function is developed in a lar
ge aspect-ratio tokamak. Using a model collision operator, the transpo
rt coefficients for the cross-field fluxes and the bootstrap current a
re explicitly calculated in the banana regime. The electron perpendicu
lar (parallel) heating is found to increase (decrease) the cross-field
particle and energy fluxes of electrons and the bootstrap current. Th
e cross-field energy flux of ions are increased (decreased) by the per
pendicular (parallel) ion heating. The cross-field fluxes and the boot
strap current are also shown to have the component proportional to the
radial electric field.
