Intense, applied radio frequency (rf) fields can cause one or more charged particle species to oscillate with a quiver speed comparable to its thermal speed. When collisional nonresonant wave particle processes dominate over collisionless resonant interactions, the quiver kinetic formalism [Phys. Fluids B 1, 1193 (1989)] may be employed. The intense wave fields in the edge plasma of an rf heated tokamak satisfy these criteria and are investigated in this paper. Previous work is extended to permit an evaluation of particle fluxes near the last closed flux surface in the long mean‐free path limit. Two types of convective fluxes are found, one local to the region of intense fields and one nonlocal. The magnetization flux of electrons (which is local) is shown to be the dominant convective flux in a simple illustrative model for the case of fast wave ion cyclotron heating.
