Adjoint methods for stellarator shape optimization and sensitivity analysis
Elizabeth Paul
The design of a stellarator with acceptable confinement properties requires optimization of the magnetic field in the non-convex, high-dimensional spaces describing their geometry.…
Adjoint approach to calculating shape gradients for three-dimensional magnetic confinement equilibria. Part II: Applications
Elizabeth J. Paul, Thomas Antonsen, Matt Landreman +1
The shape gradient is a local sensitivity function that provides the change in a figure of merit associated with a perturbation to the shape of the object. The shape gradient can b…
An Introduction to Stellarators: From magnetic fields to symmetries and optimization
Lise-Marie Imbert-Gerard, Elizabeth J. Paul, Adelle M. Wright
In this self-contained document, we aim to present the basic theoretical building blocks to understand modeling of stellarator magnetic fields, some of the challenges associated wi…
An adjoint method for neoclassical stellarator optimization
Elizabeth Paul, Ian Abel, Matt Landreman +1
Stellarators are a promising route to steady-state fusion power. However, to achieve the required confinement, the magnetic geometry must be highly optimized. This optimization req…
Adjoint approach to calculating shape gradients for 3D magnetic confinement equilibria
Thomas Antonsen, Elizabeth J. Paul, Matt Landreman
The shape gradient quantifies the change in some figure of merit resulting from differential perturbations to a shape. Shape gradients can be applied to gradient-based optimization…
