class desc.objectives.QuadraticFlux(eq, field, target=None, bounds=None, weight=1, normalize=True, normalize_target=True, source_grid=None, eval_grid=None, field_grid=None, vacuum=False, name='Quadratic flux', jac_chunk_size=None, *, bs_chunk_size=None, B_plasma_chunk_size=None, **kwargs)Source

Target B*n = 0 on LCFS.

Uses virtual casing to find plasma component of B and penalizes (B_coil + B_plasma)*n. The equilibrium is kept fixed while the field is unfixed.

Note: This objective is intended for coil optimization. For finding the surface that minimizes the normal field error, use the SurfaceQuadraticFlux objective.

Parameters:

• eq (Equilibrium) – Equilibrium upon whose surface the normal field error will be minimized. The equilibrium is kept fixed during the optimization with this objective.

• field (MagneticField) – External field produced by coils or other source, which will be optimized to minimize the normal field error on the provided equilibrium’s surface.

• source_grid (Grid, optional) – Collocation grid containing the nodes for plasma source terms. Default grid is detailed in the docs for compute_B_plasma

• eval_grid (Grid, optional) – Collocation grid containing the nodes on the surface at which the magnetic field is being calculated and where to evaluate Bn errors. Default grid is: LinearGrid(rho=np.array([1.0]), M=eq.M_grid, N=eq.N_grid, NFP=eq.NFP, sym=False)

• field_grid (Grid, optional) – Grid used to discretize field (e.g. grid for the magnetic field source from coils). Default grid is determined by the specific MagneticField object, see the docs of that object’s compute_magnetic_field method for more detail.

• vacuum (bool) – If true, B_plasma (the contribution to the normal field on the boundary from the plasma currents) is set to zero.

• bs_chunk_size (int or None) – Size to split Biot-Savart computation into chunks of evaluation points. If no chunking should be done or the chunk size is the full input then supply None.

• B_plasma_chunk_size (int or None) – Size to split singular integral computation for B_plasma into chunks. If no chunking should be done or the chunk size is the full input then supply None. Default is bs_chunk_size.

• target ({float, ndarray}, optional) – Target value(s) of the objective. Only used if bounds is None. Must be broadcastable to Objective.dim_f. Defaults to target=0.

• bounds (tuple of {float, ndarray}, optional) – Lower and upper bounds on the objective. Overrides target. Both bounds must be broadcastable to Objective.dim_f. Defaults to target=0.

• weight ({float, ndarray}, optional) – Weighting to apply to the Objective, relative to other Objectives. Must be broadcastable to Objective.dim_f.

• normalize (bool, optional) – Whether to compute the error in physical units or non-dimensionalize.

• normalize_target (bool, optional) – Whether target and bounds should be normalized before comparing to computed values. If normalize is True and the target is in physical units, this should also be set to True.

• loss_function ({None, 'mean', 'min', 'max','sum'}, optional) – Loss function to apply to the objective values once computed. This loss function is called on the raw compute value, before any shifting, scaling, or normalization.

• deriv_mode ({"auto", "fwd", "rev"}) – Specify how to compute Jacobian matrix, either forward mode or reverse mode AD. auto selects forward or reverse mode based on the size of the input and output of the objective. Has no effect on self.grad or self.hess which always use reverse mode and forward over reverse mode respectively.

• name (str, optional) – Name of the objective.

• jac_chunk_size (int or auto, optional) – Will calculate the Jacobian jac_chunk_size columns at a time, instead of all at once. The memory usage of the Jacobian calculation is roughly memory usage = m0+m1*jac_chunk_size: the smaller the chunk size, the less memory the Jacobian calculation will require (with some baseline memory usage). The time it takes to compute the Jacobian is roughly t = t0+t1/jac_chunk_size so the larger the jac_chunk_size, the faster the calculation takes, at the cost of requiring more memory. If None, it will use the largest size i.e obj.dim_x. Can also help with Hessian computation memory, as Hessian is essentially jacfwd(jacrev(f)), and each of these operations may be chunked. Defaults to chunk_size=None. Note: When running on a CPU (not a GPU) on a HPC cluster, DESC is unable to accurately estimate the available device memory, so the auto chunk_size option will yield a larger chunk size than may be needed. It is recommended to manually choose a chunk_size if an OOM error is experienced in this case.
