Rotation and transfer of plasma filament particles under the effect of external forces and currents

Rotation of plasma filament under the effect of external forces has been theoretically studied. These forces, for instance, can appear under the plasma heating by electromagnetic waves or by neutral particle beam injection. The data obtained make it possible to conclude on the possibility to avoid the dangerous velocity of the plasma filament rotation under the high-frequency plasma heating or the neutral particle beam heating. To achieve this it is necessary, first, that the intensity of heating was large enough, so that the growth rate of plasma temperature was of the order of the energy transfer rate from the wave or beam into the plasma, second that the wave phase rate in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field or velocities of neutral particle beam were greater than the ion velocity. In this case the rotation velocity of the plasma filament achieved during the heating, appears to be less than the ion thermal velocity
