Abstract
A theory of quasilinear momentum transport due to drift-wave instabilities was developed. A system of fluid moment transport equations for the five mean fields was derived including the drift-wave effective collision operator. The neoclassical relation for the ion pressure anisotropy was also modified by the turbulent energy exchange was studied. The results are found applicable to electromagnetic drift-ballooning instabilities and other linear instabilities which have a frequency small compared to the gyrofrequency.
