Scaling of Spontaneous Rotation with Temperature and Plasma Current in Tokamaks

Scaling of Spontaneous Rotation with Temperature and Plasma Current in Tokamaks

Using theoretical arguments, a simple scaling law for the size of the intrinsic rotation observed in tokamaks in the absence of a momentum injection is found: The velocity generated in the core of a tokamak must be proportional to the ion temperature difference in the core divided by the plasma curr...
