An overview of the physics of intrinsic torque is presented, with special emphasis on the
phenomenology of intrinsic toroidal rotation in tokamaks, its theoretical understanding, and …

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod
tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol …

Toroidal momentum transport mechanisms are reviewed and put in a broader perspective.
The generation of a finite momentum flux is closely related to the breaking of symmetry …

Observations in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak show a correlation between the gradient of
the intrinsic toroidal rotation profile and the logarithmic gradient of the electron density …

Turbulent transport of toroidal momentum is investigated in global linear gyrokinetic
simulations. The poloidal tilt of the global mode structure arising from the radial variation of …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …

Intrinsic rotation has been observed in I-mode plasmas from the C-Mod tokamak, and is
found to be similar to that in H mode, both in its edge origin and in the scaling with global …

Self-consistent equations for intrinsic rotation in tokamaks with small poloidal magnetic field
B p compared to the total magnetic field B are derived. The model gives the momentum …

Upgraded spectroscopic hardware and an improved impurity concentration calculation allow
accurate determination of boron density in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. A database of …
