Notes:
A general system of momentum balance equations that take into account neoclassical effects and the fluctuations of plasma quantities and electromagnetic field is established. This is used to study the influence of the properties of electrostatic fluctuations on the radial anomalous flows and ambipolar electric field. The case when the momentum drag is provided by collisions with neutrals is considered, which is relevant for the edge plasma. It is shown that a change of the spectrum accompanied by a transfer of 40% of the fluctuation energy from the big wavelength region to the small wavelength region of the spectrum can lead to a change of up to 20% in the magnitude of the electric field. As a result the plasma rotation will change. The possibility to induce plasma spin-up through the ambipolar electric field produced by monochromatic waves delivered from an external source is also considered. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
