Impurity Transport

Impurity Transport is a physical process in magnetically confined fusion plasmas, specifically within stellarator engineering contexts, that describes the movement and redistribution of non-fuel atomic species eroded from plasma-facing materials, distinguished by its dependence on electromagnetic forces, temperature gradients, and plasma flow dynamics governing impurity ion behavior in toroidal magnetic configurations.
