Abstract
To acquire a good understanding of the relationship between the different flux measures in a tokamak (Ψtor, Ψ dpol , Ψ rpol ), a careful investigation of the time evolution of the flux surfaces in an ideal plasma (with σ → ∞) is called for. Plasma and flux surfaces will be shown to move in response to a time-varying transformer flux.
