In comparing equilibrium solutions for a DIII-D shot that is amenable to analysis by both stellarator and tokamak threedimensional (3D) equilibrium codes, a significant disagreement has been seen ...

The full three-dimensional (3D) approach is now becoming an important issue for all magnetic confinement configurations. It is a necessary condition for the stellarator but also the tokamak and the ...

We report the first direct measurement of the internal magnetic field structure associated with a 3D helical equilibrium generated spontaneously in the core of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma ...

Abstract: This work provides a tutorial to model a nonlinear system by means of a set of linear parameter varying (LPV) systems, linearized around equilibrium points in which the control design will ...
