Abstract
- 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 profile shapes of the density and the toroidal rotation under most conditions. In this paper similarities and differences between the two turbulent transport channels are pointed out and, thereby, interesting physical aspects which connect the two channels are identified. The main contributions to off-diagonal particle and toroidal momentum transport are reviewed by means of a rather simplified description, which aims at providing, when possible, a direct connection between theoretical, modelling and experimental research.
