Impact of ion temperature anisotropy on 2D edge-plasma transport

A model of ion temperature anisotropy for 2D plasma transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks is described and implemented in the UEDGE fluid transport code. Two ion energy equations are used to describe the evolution of the separate parallel and perpendicular ion temperatures. The tempera...
