Abstract

The relation between various surface quantities required in hydrodynamic calculations, and the relation between the parallel and perpendicular currents in an arbitrary magnetic toroidal plasma configuration with scalar pressure, are generalized to the case of anisotropic pressure. Magnetic co-ordinates for hydrodynamic equilibria in this configuration are defined. A general expression for the mean velocity of diffusion through a magnetic surface, on the basis of the one-fluid magnetohydrodynamic equation with anisotropic pressure, is derived.
