Applications of Poincaré Boundary Condition for 3D Ideal MHD Equilibrium and Optimization

Yigit Gunsur Elmacioglu, Dario Panici, Rory Conlin +2

Stellarator ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) codes that assume nested flux surfaces such as \texttt{VMEC} and \texttt{DESC} solve the equilibrium problem by prescribing the total to…

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…

Omnigenous umbilic stellarators

R. Gaur, D. Panici, T. M. Elder +6

To better understand the dependence of the magnetic field structure in the plasma edge on the plasma boundary shape, in the context of X-point and island divertor designs, we defin…

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…
