Abstract
Analysis of the simplest classical model for resistive diffusion in an axially symmetric Tokomak geometry shows that present experiments are in a transitional regime which requires analysis of the interaction between several distinct, nonlinearly coupled, tranient processes. A few consequences of this theory are examined, and a limiting steady state with much simpler scaling is described.Keywords
