Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …

Experimental observations of driven and intrinsic rotation in tokamak plasmas are reviewed.
For momentum sources, there is direct drive from neutral beam injection, lower hybrid 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The theory, development, and validation of reduced quasilinear models of gyrokinetic
turbulent transport in the closed flux surface core of tokamaks is reviewed. In combination …

Intrinsic toroidal rotation of the deuterium main ions in the core of the DIII-D tokamak is
observed to transition from flat to hollow, forming an off-axis peak, above a threshold level of …

The purpose of this monograph is to provide an introduction to modern tokamak physics, as
an extension of our review paper “Steady State Tokamak Research—Core Physics” …
