Abstract

The role of the effective helical ripple in the helical plasma confinement is analyzed using the transport code via the effect of zonal flows. One-dimensional coupled transport equations are calculated in the different cases of the effective helical ripple. The reduction of the effective helical ripple ratio lowers the criterion for the excitation of zonal flows in helical plasmas. It is demonstrated that the reduction of the turbulent transport can be obtained in the case of the smaller neoclassical transport when zonal flows are excited.
