Effect of temperature gradients on neoclassical scaling of tandem transport

Creators

Description

A 1-D radial model for tandem mirror transport is developed to study the effect of temperature gradients. Induced azimuthal electric fields are neglected for simplicity. In the limit of large collisional energy exchange between electrons and ions, often appropriate to modern day tandem mirror experiments, the confinement time scaling law tau/sub perpendicular/ approx. (Δphi)/sup -3/2/ is obtained. 13 refs., 5 figs
