Coordinate-invariant flux-surface Fourier analysis in tokamaks

Matthew Pharr, Evan Bursch, Nikolas Logan +3

The Fourier spectra of resonant quantities in tokamaks depend on the choice of magnetic coordinates, and an area weighting of the Fourier integrand preserves the resonant coefficie…

Quantifying resonant drive in resistive perturbed tokamak equilibria

Matthew Pharr, Nikolas Logan, Carlos Paz-Soldan +1

Resonant drive in tokamaks is routinely quantified using a variety of different metrics that target different aspects of a resonant response to an external perturbation. Two of the…
