Abstract:
The transport coefficient for the magnetized plasma, which has been obtained by use of the method of self-sustained turbulence, is applied to the reverse field pinch (RFP). The dependence beta_p propto n3/4/Ip is obtained (beta_p: plasma pressure divided by the poloidal magnetic pressure,n: plasma density and I_p plasma current). This result gives an explanation of the experimental observation of the RFP scaling, beta_p propto n/I_p. The theory of anomalous transport unifies the L-mode scaling laws in the tokamaks, stellarators and Heliotron/torsatron as well as RFP.
