Polarization and magnetization in collisional and turbulent transport processes.

2021 
Expressions of polarization and magnetization in magnetically confined plasmas are derived, which include effects of both equilibrium and gyroradius scale electromagnetic turbulence. Using the obtained expressions, densities and flows of particles are related to those of gyrocenters. To the first order in the normalized gyroradius expansion, the mean part of the particle flow is given by the sum of the gyrocenter flow and the magnetization flow, which corresponds to the so-called magnetization law in drift kinetics, while the turbulent part contains the polarization flow as well. Collisions make an additional contribution to the second-order particle flow. The mean particle flux across the magnetic surface is of the second-order and it contains classical, neoclassical, and turbulent transport processes. The Lagrangian variational principle with the linear polarization-magnetization approximation is used to derive the gyrokinetic Poisson and Amp\`{e}re equations which properly include mean and turbulent parts so as to be useful for full-$f$ global gyrokinetic simulations. The turbulent parts of these gyrokinetic Poisson and Amp\`{e}re equations are confirmed to agree with the results derived from the WKB representation in earlier works.
