Abstract
In the ELMO bumpy torus, neoclassical transport coefficients depend critically on the ambipolar electric field. These coefficients, calculated for arbitrary radial electric fields, are applied in a one-dimensional radial-transport calculation which, for the first time, treats the electric field self-consistently. This purely classical model predicts many features of experimental operation including a steady-state solutions with radially inward-pointing ambipolar fields.Keywords
