Effect of magnetic shear on convective plasma transport

Creators

Description

The effect of magnetic shear on convective plasma transport is investigated both by analytic theory and by computer simulations. It is found that the convective diffusion coefficient increases linearly with the shear length until it saturates at the value for closed field lines, after this it is constant. It is essentially independent of B for ω/sub pi/ > ω/sub ci. 15 refs
