Controlling writhe in stellarator optimization
Tobias M. Schuett, Sophia A. Henneberg
The writhe of a closed curve measures its coiling, and for a ribbon along it, writhe is the contribution to the linking number not due to twist. In stellarators, large writhe impli…
A New Degree of Freedom in Stellarator Coil Design
Sophia A. Henneberg, Annika Zettl
Reversed toroidal field (RTF) coils introduce a new degree of freedom in stellarator coil design. While the total plasma-linked current is fixed by Ampere's law, compensating RTF c…
Understanding and Quantifying Banana Coil Magnetic Fields and Forces for Enhanced Optimisation
Annika Zettl, Tobias Schuett, Sophia Henneberg
The optimised tokamak-stellarator hybrid concept (Henneberg and Plunk 2024) has the potential to combine tokamak and stellarator advantages to achieve magnetically confined fusion.…
How Does The Magnetic Gradient Scale Length Influence Complexity of Filamentary Coils in Stellarators?
John Kappel, Matt Landreman, Philipp Jurašić +1
The distance between the last closed flux surface (LCFS) and the nearest electromagnetic coils is a dominating factor in the cost, size, and engineering difficulty of stellarators.…
