摘要
It is shown that ion thermal conductivity close to the magnetic axis in tokamaks is reduced by a factor of \S\(5/3) if (M-i/M-e)(2/3)(T-e/T-i)(4/3)/\S\(5/3)much greater than 1. Here, S is the orbit squeezing factor, M-i(M-e) is the ion (electron) mass, and T-i(T-e) is the ion (electron) temperature. The reduction reflects both the increase of the fraction of trapped particles by a factor of \S\(1/3), and the decrease of the orbit size in units of the poloidal flu?; psi by a factor of \S\(2/3).
