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 …

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 …

In tokamaks, turbulent particle and toroidal momentum transport are both characterized by
the presence of off-diagonal contributions which play an essential role in establishing the …

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 …

Core momentum and particle transport in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) have been examined in a
wide variety of plasma discharges and via several different methods. Experiments were …

A theory of the efficiency of the plasma flow generation process is presented. A measure of
the efficiency of plasma self-acceleration of mesoscale and mean flows from the heat flux is …

Toroidal rotation profiles have been investigated in KSTAR H-mode plasma using combined
auxiliary heating by co-neutral beam injection (NBI) and electron cyclotron resonance …

Global, heat flux-driven ITG gyrokinetic simulations which manifest the formation of
macroscopic, mean toroidal flow profiles with peak thermal Mach number 0.05, are reported …

Direct measurements of residual stress (force) have been executed at the edge of the
TEXTOR tokamak using multitip Langmuir and Mach probes, together with counter-current …

A new mechanism has recently been proposed that generates a radial flux of parallel
momentum in toroidal plasmas. Namely, by considering up-down asymmetric flux surfaces …
