This graph shows qualitative evidence that the measured
transport is driven by local viscous forces.
Here the presure tensor curve (blue) has a similar shape
as the curve for the shear in the total (ExB + Diamagnetic)
drift velocity multiplied by the local density(red).
The coefficient of viscosity is found by taking the ratio of the pressure tensor
to the shear in the total drift velocity.
