toroidal and
poloidal refer to
directions relative to a
torus of reference. They
describe a three-dimensional
coordinate system in
which the
poloidal direction...
- In
vector calculus, a
topic in pure and
applied mathematics, a
poloidal–toroidal
decomposition is a
restricted form of the
Helmholtz decomposition. It...
-
magnetic confinement fusion the
zonal direction primarily connotes the
poloidal direction (i.e. the
short way
around the torus), the
corresponding coordinate...
-
exchange of
energy between toroidal and
poloidal solar magnetic fields. At solar-cycle maximum, the
external poloidal dipolar magnetic field is near its dynamo-cycle...
- (or y-coordinate) is
denoted as v. In
plasma physics, "zonal flow"
means poloidal,
which is the
opposite from the

toroidal direction than the
poloidal direction, an RFP has a
comparable field strength in both
directions (though...
- and is
known as the "
poloidal" direction.
These terms were
first used in a
discussion of the Earth's
magnetic field,
