Abstract

Ion pressure gradient-driven drift modes are analyzed for their parametric dependence on the shear, the toroidal aspect ratio, and the pressure gradient using the ballooning toroidal mode theory. An approximate formula for the anomalous ion thermal conductivity is derived for the turbulent regime.
