A generalized pinch‐diffusion transport relation previously derived from momentum conservation is combined with the continuity equation to derive a “generalized diffusion theory” for ion particle transport in the tokamak plasma edge inside the separatrix. The resulting generalized diffusion coefficients are evaluated for a representative experiment. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
