Description

The magnetic equilibrium in tokamaks is described by the Grad-Shafranov (GS) equation. The flux function is expanded in a set of solutions of the homogeneous GS equation. The expansion coefficients, called multipolar moments, are however not simply related to physically more meaningful global plasma parameters. Current moments, on the other hand, are widely used to obtain such global plasma parameters. In this paper a method is presented for obtaining relationships between multipolar and current moment.
