Description

The electron thermal balance equation from the Braginskii equations with the finite Larmor radius heat flux is analyzed for the space-time-average power balance in the presence of electromagnetic fluctuations. Formulas for the anomalous thermal flux associated with the ExB motion and the magnetic δBperpendicular fluctuations are derived and evaluated for the c/ωpe scale electromagnetic turbulence typical of the ∇Te-driven short wavelength drift modes. The result is compared with several Ohkawa-type formulas for the anomalous electron thermal energy transport
