Abstract

The ion heat pinch due to the magnetic drift resonance with the ion temperature gradient instability is investigated by using the Lie-transform method. In a tokamak plasma with an equilibrium parallel flow, the total heat flux is found to direct inward with a strong flow shear. The proposed heat pinch can provide possible explanations for some experimental observations.
