Turnstile area as a measure for chaotic transport in magnetic confinement fusion devices
Christopher Berg Smiet, Ludovic Rais, Joaquim Loizu +1
We analyze stochasticity in the magnetic fields of magnetic confinement fusion reactors by calculating the lobe areas of turnstiles - a method developed for characterizing transpor…

Efficient single-stage optimization of islands in finite- stellarator equilibria
Christopher Berg Smiet, Joaquim Loizu, Erol Balkovic +1
We present the first single-stage optimization of islands in finite- stellarator equilibria. Stellarator optimization is traditionally performed as a two-stage process; in the f…

Simplified and Flexible Coils for Stellarators using Single-Stage Optimization
R. Jorge, A. Giuliani, J. Loizu
Single-stage optimization, also known as combined plasma-coil algorithms or direct coil optimization, has recently emerged as a possible method to expedite the design of stellarato…
