Abstract

The calculation presented in "A neoclassical calculation of rotation profiles and comparison with DIII-D measurements" by Stacey, Johnson, and Mandrekas, [Physics of Plasmas, 13, (2006)], contains several errors, including the neglect of the toroidal electric field, an unphysical expression for the electrostatic potential, and an unevaluated relation among its parameters. An alternative formulation is discussed.
