High Order Free Boundary MHD Equilibria in DESC
Rory Conlin, Jonathan Schilling, Daniel W. Dudt +3
In this work we consider the free boundary inverse equilibrium problem for 3D ideal MHD. We review boundary conditions for both fixed and free boundary solutions and under what cir…
Spectrally accurate, reverse-mode differentiable bounce-averaging algorithm and its applications
Kaya Unalmis, Rahul Gaur, Rory Conlin +2
We present a fast, spectrally (exponentially) accurate, automatically differentiable bounce-averaging algorithm that is used to simplify kinetic models. Using this algorithm, imple…
Omnigenous stellarator equilibria with enhanced stability
Rahul Gaur, Rory Conlin, David Dickinson +7
To build an economically viable stellarator, it is essential to find a configuration that satisfies a set of favorable properties to achieve efficient steady-state nuclear fusion.…
ZERNIPAX: A Fast and Accurate Zernike Polynomial Calculator in Python
Yigit Gunsur Elmacioglu, Rory Conlin, Daniel W. Dudt +2
Zernike polynomials serve as an orthogonal basis on the unit disc, and have proven to be effective in optics simulations, astrophysics, and more recently in plasma simulations. Unl…
Stellarator Optimization with Constraints
Rory Conlin, Patrick Kim, Daniel W. Dudt +2
In this work we consider the problem of optimizing a stellarator subject to hard constraints on the design variables and physics properties of the equilibrium. We survey current nu…
