Heliac equilibria

Creators

Description

Three-dimensional numerical calculations of Heliac equilibria are presented. The results indicate that finite-β distortions in the flux surfaces can arise due to the presence of low order rational surfaces within or near the plasma. These distortions arise because of nonlinear beatings between the toroidal shift and the helical components of the magnetic field. Reducing the toroidal shift by increasing the number of field periods and/or the aspect ratio improves the equilibrium β-limit
