Motivation and outline• Usual statement : perpendicular transport is
turbulent, parallel dynamics is collisional. • When axisymmetry is lost, competition between
turbulence and collisional processes is exacerbated. Outline• Large scale flows : competition between turbulence
Reynolds stress and viscous damping• Particle transport : competition between Ware and
turbulent pinch velocities – Perp. diffusion is enhanced in presence of helical perturbations.

Cut-off layer
• 2 Doppler and 2 fast sweeping reflectometers: profile of turbulence intensity, frequency and wavenumber spectra
• Numerical tools: global (GYSELA) local (GYRO, GENE) gyrokinetic codes, integrated modelling (CRONOS)

Large scale flows : interplay between turbulence generation
and collisional damping
• On Tore Supra, magnetic field corrugation (ripple) is large (7%)
• Leads to magnetic braking in toroidal direction – controls radial electric field.
• Competes with turbulence Reynolds stress

Is the poloidal rotation neoclassical on Tore Supra?
• Doppler reflectometry Er always agrees with ripple=0 in the core
• CXRS V changes from cntr to co-rotation when ripple becomes weaker
• Radial force balance equation VVneo • Not impossible (e.g. JET Crombé 06, DIII-D Kim 94
TFTR transient Bell 98 ) but surprising : turbulence simulations find VVneo + turbulence corrugations

Particle and impurity transport in the plasma core (q<1)
• Usual form of particle transport =-Dn+Vn
• Usually D,V >> Dneo,Vneo
• Not always true in the core, where values get closer to neoclassical (“neoclassical”=axisymmetric value)

Particle pinch is usually turbulent on Tore Supra
• Long pulses (6mn) with LHCD Eind 0 Ware pinch=0
• Ionization source localised in the edge, pinch due to waves is small.
V (electrons) is turbulent

• Supersonic impurity gas injection.
• Both transient and steady profiles are used to assess fluxes =-Dn+Vn
• Allows to reduce error bars on D and V by a large factor.

• Ellectrons: banana-drift regime
• Nickel: ripple-plateau regime
• In summary:
- Neoclassical electron transport is enhanced–still off by a factor 3-5
- Ni neoclassical transport is unchanged

Conclusions
• GK simulations show that VVneo but corrugations due to turbulence are not negligible.
• Er and V agree with neoclassical theory in ohmic plasmas, with strong ripple. Situation at low ripple is unclear: looks like V departs from Vneo.
• Some evidence that in the core, collisional transport due to n=1,m=1 helical perturbation can be important
