Reactor-scale stellarators with force and torque minimized dipole coils
Alan A. Kaptanoglu, Alexander Wiedman, Jacob Halpern +3
In this work, we utilize new coil objectives for stellarator optimization with autodifferentiation, including pointwise and net coil-coil forces and torques. We use these methods t…

Electromagnetic coil optimization for reduced Lorentz forces
Siena Hurwitz, Matt Landreman, Alan Kaptanoglu
The reduction of magnetic forces on electromagnetic coils is an important consideration in the design of high-field devices such as the stellarator or tokamak. Unfortunately, these…
