Toroidal angular momentum transport with non-axisymmetric magnetic fields

J. Seol, B. H. Park

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

In this study, we calculate the radial transport of the toroidal angular momentum in the presence of non-axisymmetric magnetic fields. It is shown that the radial transport of the toroidal angular momentum, R2∇ζ·V, is proportional to the first order of gyro-radius. This implies that the neoclassical toroidal viscosity caused by asymmetric magnetic fields can change the toroidal rotation significantly.
