Rotation and particle transport of a plasma heated by traveling electromagnetic waves and neutral beams

The rotation of a plasma caused by electromagnetic waves and by a beam of neutral particles, used for plasma heating, is studied. If the plasma heating time is shorter than the plasma energy lifetime, and if the wave phase velocity in the direction across the magnetic field or the velocity of the neutral beam is higher than the ion thermal velocity, then the rotation velocity acquired by the plasma during the heating is lower than the ion thermal velocity. In several cases, the radial velocity of the plasma turns out to be smaller than the drift velocity of the particles in the external forces.
