Enhanced transport in tokamaks due to toroidal ripple

Abstract

A method for evaluating transport in non-symmetric systems is developed and applied to a previously unstudied ripple collisionality regime of tokamaks. This collisionality regime, the ripple plateau, is the regime of primary importance both for present day and reactor scale tokamaks. The results can be directly applied to related systems like the toroidal Z pinch.
