A Variational Framework for Guiding-Center Kinetics, Anisotropic Equilibria, and Quasisymmetry in Stellarators

Lanke Fu, Amitava Bhattacharjee

We present a variational framework in which (i) guiding-center kinetic theory, (ii) macroscopic force balance with gyrotropic/anisotropic pressure, and (iii) quasisymmetry (QS) con…

Towards joint optimization of stellarator coils and support structures

Lanke Fu, Alan A. Kaptanoglu

The support structure is an integral part of the design of nuclear fusion reactors, especially 3D stellarator devices. A practical reactor's coils and support structures must have…

A flexible and differentiable coil proxy for stellarator equilibrium optimization

Lanke Fu, Dario Panici, Elizabeth Paul +2

Balancing plasma performance and coil cost is a significant challenge when designing a stellarator power plant. Most current stellarator designs are produced through two-stage opti…

Global Stellarator Coil Optimization with Quadratic Constraints and Objectives

Lanke Fu, Elizabeth J. Paul, Alan A. Kaptanoglu +1

Most present stellarator designs are produced by costly two-stage optimization: the first for an optimized equilibrium, and the second for a coil design reproducing its magnetic co…

Numerical asymptotics of near-axis expansions of quasisymmetric magnetohydrostatic equilibria with anisotropic pressure

Lanke Fu, Eduardo Rodriguez, Rory Conlin +1

Quasisymmetry (QS) is a property of special magnetic configurations, where the magnetic field strength, but not necessarily the full vector field, has a direction of symmetry. QS l…

Designing a Validation Experiment for Radio Frequency Condensation

Lanke Fu, E. Litvinova Mitra, R. Nies +18

Theoretical studies have suggested that nonlinear effects can lead to "radio frequency condensation", which coalesces RF power deposition and driven current near the center of a ma…
