Abstract
- We study the diffusion of stochastic isotropic and anisotropic magnetic field lines in turbulence with average poloidal magnetic field component. In the current work we employ the so-called DeCorrelation Trajectory method in order to compute the running and asymptotic diffusion coefficients of stochastic magnetic field lines with average poloidal magnetic field component. A modification of the diffusion coefficients is caused by the average magnetic field component parameter in the presence of trajectory trapping. We calculate the field line diffusion coefficients D<subscript>xx</subscript> and D<subscript>yy</subscript> for different values of the magnetic Kubo number K, the average magnetic field component parameter K<subscript>av</subscript> and the anisotropy parameter Λ. Furthermore we compare our new findings with those already obtained in papers dealing with the calculus of the diffusion coefficients for a stochastic sheared magnetic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
