This research aims to extend neoclassical transport studies by including self-consistent electron and impurity dynamics.
Developed a code (NEO) to solve the drift-kinetic equation (DKE) for multi-species plasmas.
Calculated transport coefficients by solving a hierarchy of equations including the Poisson equation.
Explored finite-orbit-width effects and non-local transport implications.
Confirmed ambipolar relation ∑azaΓa = 0 under complete cross-species collisional coupling.
Identified finite mass-ratio corrections due to collisional coupling.
Examined plasma shaping effects with insights for applying Chang–Hinton formula to non-circular plasmas.
