Qué (quién) es zonal flow - definición


Zonal flow (plasma)         
PLASMA FLOW WITHIN A MAGNETIC SURFACE PRIMARILY IN THE POLOIDAL DIRECTION
In toroidally confined fusion plasma experiments the term zonal flow means a plasma flow within a magnetic surface primarily in the poloidal direction. This usage is inspired by the analogy between the quasi-two-dimensional nature of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic flows, where zonal means latitudinal, and the similarly quasi-two-dimensional nature of low-frequency flows in a strongly magnetized plasma.
