Abstract

A quantitative comparison of the fluctuation-induced energy flux with the total energy flux has been made in the edge region of the TEXT tokamak using fluctuation measurements from Langmuir, heavy-ion-beam, and magnetic probes. At all but the lowest densities the convected energy flux due to electrostatic fluctuations dominates the energy losses caused by plasma transport. Energy loss through magnetic fluctuations is insignificant in the edge region.
