Momentum and particle balance and neoclassical viscosity were applied to calculate the radial profile of toroidal rotation velocity in several DIII-D [J. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] discharges in a variety of energy confinement regimes (low-mode, low-mode with internal transport barrier, high-mode, and high-mode with quiescentd double barrier). Calculated toroidal rotation velocities generally were found to (over) predict measured values to well within a factor of 2.
