Enhancement of the Ion Neoclassical Heat Conduction Due to Electron and Superthermal Ion Energy-Scattering Collisions.

摘要

This paper considers the extra components of neoclassical ion heat conduction driven by energy scattering collisions with electrons and superthermal ions. These components are important in auxiliary heated discharges and can be the most important if the plasma ion distribution has an enhanced non-Maxwellian tail. 5 refs. (ERA citation 14:002522)
