Notes:
The convection of a magnetically confined plasma resulting from heat and particle sources is studied. It is assumed that the convection is low-level in that the system stays stable to ideal interchange instabilities. A Z-pinch plasma with asymmetric particle and heat sources is considered. It is found that there is no convection if there are no particle sources, independent of the distribution of the heat sources. Particle sources result in convection which in turn influences heat transport. The central temperature, however, may go up or down in response to this convection, depending on the distribution of the source function. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
