Stellarators Linking Axisymmetric Mirrors Part 1: Coil Design, MHD Equilibrium, and Physics Metrics
Rahul Gaur, Djin Patch, Robert Babin +3
We present a computational design study of a stellarator-mirror hybrid concept, Stellarators Linking Axisymmetric Mirrors (SLAMs), in which an optimized poloidally omnigenous (OP o…
Back to the Figure-8 Stellarator
G. G. Plunk, M. Drevlak, E. Rodriguez +3
The first stellarator design was a simple tube of plasma twisted and closed on itself in the form of a figure-8. The line of such devices, however, was quickly ended over concerns…
Construction of an invertible mapping to boundary conforming coordinates for arbitrarily shaped toroidal domains
Robert Babin, Florian Hindenlang, Omar Maj +1
Boundary conforming coordinates are commonly used in plasma physics to describe the geometry of toroidal domains, for example, in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium…
Computing MHD equilibria of stellarators with a flexible coordinate frame
Florian J. Hindenlang, Gabriel G. Plunk, Omar Maj
For the representation of axi-symmetric plasma configurations, it is natural to use cyl. coordinates (R,Z,), where is an independent coordinate. The same cyl. coordinates ha…
Constructing nested coordinates inside strongly shaped toroids using an action principle
Zeno Tecchiolli, Stuart Hudson, Joaquim Loizu +3
A new approach for constructing polar-like boundary-conforming coordinates inside a toroid with strongly shaped cross-sections is presented. A coordinate mapping is obtained throug…
Global gyrokinetic simulations of ITG turbulence in the configuration space of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator
A. Bañón Navarro, G. Merlo, G. G. Plunk +7
We study the effect of turbulent transport in different magnetic configurations of the Weldenstein 7-X stellarator. In particular, we performed direct numerical simulations with th…
