Near-axis quasi-isodynamic database
Eduardo Rodriguez, Gabriel G. Plunk
In this work, we investigate the landscape of quasi-isodynamic stellarators using the near-axis expansion of the magnetic field. Building on recent theoretical developments, we con…
A geometric approach to constructing quasi-isodynamic fields
G. G. Plunk, E. Rodríguez
The near-axis theory for quasi-isodynamic stellarator equilibria is reformulated in terms of geometric inputs, to allow greater control of the ``direct construction'' of quasi-isod…
Enhanced performance in quasi-isodynamic max- stellarators with a turbulent particle pinch
G. G. Plunk, A. G. Goodman, P. Xanthopoulos +7
Recent stellarator reactor designs demonstrate mostly outward turbulent particle transport, which, without advanced fueling technology, inhibits the formation of density gradients…
Critical gradient optimization for quasi-isodynamic stellarators
G. T. Roberg-Clark, P. Xanthopoulos, G. G. Plunk +1
We present new and updated methods for reducing transport caused by electrostatic ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven turbulence in quasi-isodynamic (QI) configurations. We first…
Tightening energetic bounds on linear gyrokinetic instabilities
P. J. Costello, G. G. Plunk
Bounding energetic growth of gyrokinetic instabilities is a complementary approach to linear instability analyses involving normal eigenmodes. Previous work has focused on upper bo…
Near-axis measures of quasi-isodynamic configurations
Eduardo Rodriguez, Gabriel G Plunk
We present a number of measures and techniques to characterise and effectively construct quasi-isodynamic stellarators within the near-axis framework, without the need to resort to…
