Abstract

The average parallel resistivity and the location of the q=1 surface are found to be consistent with the predictions of neoclassical transport theory and inconsistent with classical resistivity (uncorrected for toroidal effects) for Ohmic plasmas in the TFTR tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (IAEA, Vienna, 1987), Vol. I, p. 51], both in near-equilibrium and during ramping of the plasma current. These observations are incompatible with theories predicting anomalous parallel resistivity in concert with anomalous perpendicular transport.
