A Variational Framework for Guiding-Center Kinetics, Anisotropic Equilibria, and Quasisymmetry in Stellarators
Lanke Fu, Amitava Bhattacharjee
We present a variational framework in which (i) guiding-center kinetics, (ii) macroscopic force balance with gyrotropic pressure, and (iii) quasisymmetry (QS) appear as facets of a…
A flexible and differentiable coil proxy for stellarator equilibrium optimization
Lanke Fu, Dario Panici, Elizabeth Paul +2
Balancing plasma performance and coil cost is a significant challenge when designing a stellarator power plant. Most current stellarator designs are produced through two-stage opti…
Plasmoid solutions of the Hahm--Kulsrud--Taylor equilibrium model
R. L. Dewar, A. Bhattacharjee, R. M. Kulsrud +1
The Hahm--Kulsrud (HK) [T. S. Hahm and R. M. Kulsrud, Phys. Fluids {\bf 28}, 2412 (1985)] solutions for a magnetically sheared plasma slab driven by a resonant periodic boundary pe…
Fast magnetic reconnection in laser-produced plasma bubbles
W. Fox, A. Bhattacharjee, K. Germaschewski
Recent experiments have observed magnetic reconnection in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasma bubbles, with reconnection rates observed to be much higher than can be explain…
