Description

Grater importance is now being attached to understanding transport physics in toroidal confinement devices. Stellarators and tokamaks share many transport issues (anomalous χe, confinement deterioration with heating power, etc.), but they also have fundamental differences. The similarities and differences can be exploited in order to better understand the underlying physics of transport. Stellarators and tokamaks both rely on nested toroidal flux surfaces formed by helical magnetic fields for confinement
