Coupled transport in field-reversed configurations
February 2018 | L. Steinhauer | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
Coupled transport is the close interconnection between the cross-field and parallel fluxes in differ- ent regions due to topological changes in the magnetic field. This occurs because perpendicular transport is necessary for particles or energy to leave closed field-line regions, while parallel transport strongly affects evolution of open field-line regions.
