Multiscale gyrokinetics for rotating tokamak plasmas: fluctuations, transport and energy flows
This paper presents a complete theoretical framework for studying turbulence and transport in rapidly rotating tokamak plasmas. The fundamental scale separations present in plasma turbulence are codified as an asymptotic expansion in the ratio = ρi/a of the gyroradius to the equilibrium scale length. Proceeding order by order in this …
