Impurity transport driven by kinetic ballooning mode in the strong gradient pedestal of tokamak plasmas by Shanni Huang, Weixin Guo, Lu Wang

“…Besides, the increase of the impurity density gradient can significantly enhance ${{{D_{\text{z}}}}\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{D_{\text{z}}}}{\chi _{\text{i}}^{{\text{eff}}}}}}\right. }{\chi _{\text{i}}^{{\text{eff}}}}}$ , and this is because stronger impurity dilution effects make a larger magnetic drift term ${{\left| {{\omega _{{\text{Dz}}}}}\right|}\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left| {{\omega _{{\text{Dz}}}}}\right|}{\left| {\omega_\text{r}^{\prime}}\right|}}}\right. }{\left|{\omega_\text{r}^{\prime}}\right|}}$ ( ${\omega _{{\text{Dz}}}}$ is the magnitude of impurity magnetic drift frequency) and ${\eta _{\text{i}}}$ (the ratio of ion density gradient scale length to ion temperature gradient scale length). …”
