The coupling between the poloidal distribution and the collisional flux of impurities can be exploited to derive a simplified analytical model covering toroidal rotation and electrostatic potential asymmetry effects, valid in the Pfirsh-Schlüter regime. This model is compared with earlier works and with the drift-kinetic code NEO, which includes the full Fokker-Planck collision operator. The low computational cost of the model, compared to NEO, is particularly adapted for fast integrated simulation purposes.
