Transport of ions and electrons is calculated by the Monte Carlo method in tokamak plasmas without axial symmetry. Turbulence is modeled by time‐averaged equations of electrostatics and magnetostatics that describe quasineutrality and equilibrium. Good agreement with experimental measurements is obtained by allowing for small three‐dimensional asymmetries in the electric and magnetic fields.
