Combined plasma-coil optimization algorithms
Sophia A. Henneberg, Stuart R. Hudson, David Pfefferlé +1
Combined plasma-coil optimization approaches for designing stellarators are discussed and a new method for calculating free-boundary equilibria is proposed. Four distinct categorie…
Optimized finite-build stellarator coils using automatic differentiation
Nick McGreivy, Stuart R. Hudson, Caoxiang Zhu
A new stellarator coil design code is introduced that optimizes the position and winding pack orientation of finite-build coils. The new code, called FOCUSADD, performs gradient-ba…
Bifurcations of the magnetic axis and the alternating-hyperbolic sawtooth
C. B. Smiet, G. J. Kramer, S. R. Hudson
We present a sawtooth model that explains observations where the central safety factor, , stays well below one, which is irreconcilable with current models that predict a rese…
Stepped pressure equilibrium with relaxed flow and applications in reversed-field pinch plasmas
Z. S. Qu, R. L. Dewar, F. Ebrahimi +3
The Multi-region Relaxed MHD (MRxMHD) has been successful in the construction of equilibria in three-dimensional (3D) configurations. In MRxMHD, the plasma is sliced into sub-volum…
