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…

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…

Deflation Techniques for Stellarator Equilibrium and Optimization

Dario Panici, Byoungchan Jang, Rory Conlin +3

Stellarator optimization is a multi-objective, non-convex problem characterized by a complex objective landscape containing many local minima. The solution resulting from a single…

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…

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…
