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…
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…
Near-axis description of stellarator-symmetric quasi-isodynamic stellarators to second order
Eduardo Rodriguez, Gabriel G. Plunk, Rogerio Jorge
The near-axis description of optimised stellarators, at second order in the expansion, provides important information about the field, both of physical and practical importance for…
The zonal-flow residual does not tend to zero in the limit of small mirror ratio
Eduardo Rodriguez, Gabriel G Plunk
The intensity of the turbulence in tokamaks and stellarators depends on its ability to excite and sustain zonal flows. Insight into this physics may be gained by studying the ''res…
A compact stellarator-tokamak hybrid
S. A. Henneberg, G. G. Plunk
Tokamaks and stellarators are the leading two magnetic confinement devices for producing fusion energy, begging the question of whether the strengths of the two could be merged int…
Quasi-isodynamic stellarators with low turbulence as fusion reactor candidates
Alan G. Goodman, Pavlos Xanthopoulos, Gabriel G. Plunk +7
The stellarator is a type of fusion energy device that - if properly designed - could provide clean, safe, and abundant energy to the grid. To generate this energy, a stellarator m…
