desc.magnetic_fields.VerticalMagneticField

class desc.magnetic_fields.VerticalMagneticField(B0)Source

Uniform magnetic field purely in the vertical (Z) direction.

The vector potential is specified assuming the Coulomb Gauge.

Parameters:

B0 (float) – field strength

Methods

compute_magnetic_vector_potential(coords[, ...])	Compute magnetic vector potential at a set of points.
copy([deepcopy])	Return a (deep)copy of this object.
equiv(other)	Compare equivalence between DESC objects.
load(load_from[, file_format])	Initialize from file.
pack_params(p)	Convert a dictionary of parameters into a single array.
save(file_name[, file_format, file_mode])	Save the object.
save_BNORM_file(surface, fname[, basis_M, ...])	Create BNORM-style .txt file containing Bnormal Fourier coefficients.
save_mgrid(path, Rmin, Rmax, Zmin, Zmax[, ...])	Save the magnetic field to an mgrid NetCDF file in "raw" format.
unpack_params(x)	Convert a single array of concatenated parameters into a dictionary.
