Talk:Zonal flow (plasma)

Direction of zonal flows
I don't understand how at the same time "the term zonal flow means a plasma flow within a magnetic surface primarily in the poloidal direction" and that "Zonal flows (...) are further characterized by (...) having little or no variation in either the poloidal or toroidal direction". Is the flow in the poloidal direction or not? Martim Zurita (talk) 09:53, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
