In the far edge, in L-mode plasmas and the outer parts of the H-mode barrier, tokamak plasmas may be so collisional that parallel electron motion can be neglected or included as a perturbation. Thus we have a regime that is basically two dimensional. We will here consider the outer part of the H-mode barrier where transport is small. Recently a condensation mode was found for this regime. We have extended the theory to the nonlinear regime.
