Direct, simple, and efficient computation of all components of the virtual-casing magnetic field in axisymmetric geometries with Kapur-Rokhlin quadrature
Evan Toler, Antoine Cerfon, Dhairya Malhotra
In a recent publication (Toler et al. 2023), we demonstrated that for axisymmetric geometries, the Kapur-Rokhlin quadrature rule provided an efficient and high-order accurate metho…

The Magnetic Gradient Scale Length Explains Why Certain Plasmas Require Close External Magnetic Coils
John Kappel, Matt Landreman, Dhairya Malhotra
The separation between the last closed flux surface of a plasma and the external coils that magnetically confine it is a limiting factor in the construction of fusion-capable plasm…
