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…

Narrow Operator Models of Stellarator Equilibria in Fourier Zernike Basis

Timo Thun, Rory Conlin, Dario Panici +1

Numerical computation of the ideal Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium magnetic field is at the base of stellarator optimisation and provides the starting point for solving more…

Surface Current Optimization and Coil-Cutting Algorithms for Stage-Two Stellarator Optimization

Dario Panici, Rory Conlin, Rahul Gaur +8

Stellarator optimization often takes a two-stage approach, where in the first stage the boundary is varied in order to optimize for some physics metrics, while in the second stage…

Improving ideal MHD equilibrium accuracy with physics-informed neural networks

Timo Thun, Andrea Merlo, Rory Conlin +2

We present a novel approach to compute three-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic equilibria by parametrizing Fourier modes with artificial neural networks and compare it to equilibria…

Extending near-axis equilibria in DESC

Dario Panici, Eduardo Rodriguez, Rory Conlin +2

The near-axis description of optimised stellarator fields has proven to be a powerful tool both for design and understanding of this magnetic confinement concept. The description c…
