SPECTRE: A robust solver for 3D equilibria with arbitrary topology
E. Balkovic, J. Loizu, E. Lanti +6
SPECTRE is a new computational code that solves three‑dimensional plasma equilibrium problems with arbitrary magnetic topology using a multi‑region relaxed MHD model and a trust‑re…
Polaris: a flexible stellarator demonstration experiment with simple modular coils
Simon P. H. Vincent, Joaquim Loizu, Matthieu Toussaint +14
We present the design, construction, and first plasma experiments of Polaris, a new small-scale stellarator experiment (major radius R ~ 0.4 m) located at the Swiss Plasma Center.…
Characterisation of X- and O-points in Wendelstein 7-X with respect to coil currents
Robert Davies, Christopher B. Smiet, Charlotte Batzdorf +3
This work analyses vacuum magnetic field topology in Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) with respect to changes in the current in the superconducting coils. We develop a fast automated scheme…
Turnstile area as a measure for chaotic transport in magnetic confinement fusion devices
Christopher Berg Smiet, Ludovic Rais, Joaquim Loizu +1
We analyze stochasticity in the magnetic fields of magnetic confinement fusion reactors by calculating the lobe areas of turnstiles - a method developed for characterizing transpor…
