Abstract

A method of computation of anomalous bootstrap current is suggested which uses calculated or experimentally found values of the radial transport velocity. The underlying theory is the drift kinetic equation approach of Shaing to anomalous plasma transport in a toroidal configuration and/or the MHD approach of Klíma and PetrŽílka to convection and diffusion in a plasma cylinder under the influence of RF fields.
