AGNI: A differentiable MHD stability solver & optimizer for magnetic confinement fusion devices
Rahul Gaur, Sanket Patil, Prateek Gupta +2
The existence of an ideal MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) equilibrium does not guarantee its stability. Finite toroidal mode number (n) instabilities degrade performance in both tokamaks…
