A moment approach to the transport theory of impure Tokamak plasmas with strong rotation velocity Vphi in the Pfirsch-Schluter regime with constant temperature is presented. Using the moment approach, the general form of friction and viscosity with effects of large rotation and arbitrary impurity concentration is obtained. In particular, corrections to Braginskii's viscous tensor due to the large rotation are found. When Vphi <or approximately= upsilon thi, strong in/out and up/down poloidal variations of the impurity density in the flux surface, the first-order poloidal flows, the radial particle flux, and the radial flux of toroidal angular momentum are evaluated. Most importantly, a strong ordering parameter Delta identical to delta piZ( nu ii)2- square root 2/ omega ti is introduced and found to be essentially a measure of up/down density variation; and a large enough Delta may lead to a bifurcation of the equilibrium poloidal flows.
