Orbit-averaged Guiding-center Fokker-Planck Operator
Abstract
A general orbit-averaged guiding-center Fokker-Planck operator suitable for the numerical analysis of transport processes in axisymmetric magnetized plasmas is presented. The orbit-averaged guiding-center operator describes transport processes in a three-dimensional guiding-center invariant space: the orbit-averaged magnetic-flux invariant , the minimum-B pitch-angle coordinate 0, and the momentum magnitude p.
