Book excerpt: Excerpt from Magnetic and Drift Surfaces in Toroidal Plasma Equilibria V o_ 0 must be preserved to be able to follow trajectories in the torus adequately. The betancourt-garabedian code is first used to compute an equilibrium over a rectangular grid in a unit cube 0 S_s Sol, 0 5_u 0 _v into which the plasma or vacuum region has been assumed to be mapped. In this coordinate system, 5 denotes a radial-like flux variable, and u and v are angular variables with unit periods. Implicit in their formulation is the hypothesis of the existence of a nested family of flux surfaces. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
