Representing the boundary of stellarator plasmas

Plasma Physics 2021-10-04 v1

Abstract

In stellarator optimization studies, the boundary of the plasma is usually described by Fourier series that are not unique: several sets of Fourier coefficients describe approximately the same boundary shape. A simple method for eliminating this arbitrariness is proposed and shown to work well in practice.
