It provides a model for the transport of particles, momentum, and heat in complex magnetic geometries. | It provides a model for the transport of particles, momentum, and heat in complex magnetic geometries. | ||
The difference between the Neoclassical and the Classical models lies in the incorporation of geometrical effects, which give rise to complex particle orbits and drifts that were ignored in the latter. | The difference between the Neoclassical and the Classical models lies in the incorporation of geometrical effects, which give rise to complex particle orbits and drifts that were ignored in the latter. | ||
