Construction of an invertible mapping to boundary conforming coordinates for arbitrarily shaped toroidal domains
Robert Babin, Florian Hindenlang, Omar Maj +1
Boundary conforming coordinates are commonly used in plasma physics to describe the geometry of toroidal domains, for example, in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium…
