[en] A new method for calculating the anomalous transport in tokamak plasmas is presented. The renormalized nonlinear plasma response function is derived using the direct-interaction approximation (DIA). A complete calculation for the case of electrostatic drift-wave turbulence is presented. Explicit expressions for all coefficients of the anomalous transport matrix relating particle and heat fluxes to density and temperature gradients in the plasma are obtained. The anomalous transport matrix calculated using the DIA does not have the Onsager symmetry. As an example of application, the parameters of the Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) [Nucl. Technol. Fusion 1, 479 (1981)] are used to evaluate all transport coefficients numerically, as well as the spectrum modulation. The relation between the theoretical results and the experimental data is discussed. Although this paper focuses on electron transport for simplicity, the method can also be used to calculate anomalous transport due to ion instabilities, such as the ion-temperature-gradient instability.

Note that even though the magnetic shear is important in the linear theory of drift waves, where it has a stabilizing effect, it might not be important in the strong turbulence limit., Indeed, in this limit, the mode will lose its energy due to the dissipation mechanism (here the ion viscosity) before it can be stabilized by the magnetic shear; .

In reality, the plasma is not neutral, but only quasineutral., Therefore,there is a mean radial electric potential [formula omitted] However, it only creates a global rotation of the plasma, i.e., a Doppler shift of the frequency, and can therefore be eliminated by going into the frame of the rotating plasma, so that [formula omitted] and [formula omitted]; .

We need to have dissipation at the long wavelengths in order to satisfy the condition [formula omitted] at all k., The molecular viscosity provides the necessary dissipation at the small scales. Therefore, the eddy viscosity damping [formula omitted] should be written as [formula omitted] where [formula omitted] the molecular viscosity, is a small constant; .
