Abstract
The effect of magnetic shear on convective plasma transport is investigated both by analytic theory and by computer simulations. It is found that the convective diffusion coefficient increases linearly with the shear length until it saturates at the value for close field lines; after this it is constant. It is essentially independent of B for ωpi > ωci.Keywords
