Abstract.  The revisited transport theory for collisional edge layer with steep radial gradients in the toroidal damping time scale is extended to include also the faster poloidal damping time scale. A two-time-scale analysis is applied in order to determine the stability behaviour of both poloidal and toroidal rotations of plasma. It is observed, that the rotational spin-up tendencies are strongly controlled by charge exchange interactions, neutral beam injection, or a radial current.
