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…
