Design of 3D equilibria and coils for steady-state operation of tokamaks by Yihui Liang, Yao Zhou, Fanghao Dong, Caoxiang Zhu, Guodong Yu, Yuansheng Zhao, Ge Dong

“…Inspired by the respective advantages of tokamaks and stellarators, we propose a quasi-axisymmetric (QA) tokamak-stellarator hybrid concept as a steady-state operation mode of standard tokamaks. Using stellarator optimization tools, we obtain compact 3D equilibria with good QA and sufficient (∼20%) rotational transform generated by external coils to replace current drive, with the rest (∼80%) generated self-consistently by the bootstrap current. …”
