List of Variables

The table below contains a list of variables that are used in the code and that are available for plotting / analysis.

  • Name : Name of the variable as it appears in the code. Pass a string with this name to any of the plotting functions to plot, or to the relevant .compute() method to return the calculated quantity.

  • Label : TeX label for the variable.

  • Units : Physical units for the variable.

  • Description : Description of the variable.

  • Aliases : Alternative names of the variable that are equivalent to the primary name.

  • kwargs : Optional keyword arguments that can be supplied when computing the variable. See the bottom of this page for detailed descriptions and default values of each argument. The only keyword argument that is valid for all variables is ‘basis’ (see explanation below).

All vector quantities are computed in toroidal coordinates \((R,\phi,Z)\) by default. The keyword argument basis='xyz' can be used to convert the variables into Cartesian coordinates \((X,Y,Z)\). basis must be one of {'rpz', 'xyz'}.

Our convention to denote partial derivatives is an underscore followed by the first letter of the coordinate that the partial derivative is taken with respect to. Unless otherwise specified or implied by the variable name, these partial derivatives are those of the DESC \(\rho, \theta, \zeta\) coordinate system. For example, |B|_z is \((\partial \vert B \vert / \partial\zeta)|_{\rho, \theta}\).

Many quantities require special grids to compute accurately. To not burden users with such bookkeeping, when an object method such as eq.compute(...,override_grid=True) is called, DESC will automatically use a set of best grids for the computation. However, when writing objectives developers must perform the bookkeeping and ensure everything can be computed accurately on the chosen grid.

Description

H_ISS04

float: ISS04 confinement enhancement factor. Default 1.

M_booz

int: Maximum poloidal mode number for Boozer harmonics. Default 2*eq.M

N_booz

int: Maximum toroidal mode number for Boozer harmonics. Default 2*eq.N

Neigvals

int: number of largest eigenvalues to return, default value is 1.`If Neigvals=2 eigenvalues are [-1, 0, 1] we get [1, 0]

Y_B

int :

Desired resolution for algorithm to compute bounce points. If the option spline is True, the bounce points are found with 8th order accuracy in this parameter. If the option spline is False, then the bounce points are found with spectral accuracy in this parameter. A reference value for the spline option is 100.

An error of ε in a bounce point manifests 𝒪(ε¹ᐧ⁵) error in bounce integrals with (v_∥)¹ and 𝒪(ε⁰ᐧ⁵) error in bounce integrals with (v_∥)⁻¹.

_vander

dict[str,jnp.ndarray] :

Precomputed transform matrix “dct spline”. This private parameter is intended to be used only by developers for objectives.

alpha

jnp.ndarray :

Shape (num alpha, ). Starting field line poloidal labels. Default is single field line. To compute a surface average on a rational surface, it is necessary to average over multiple field lines until the surface is covered sufficiently.

angle

jnp.ndarray :

Shape (num rho, X, Y). Angle returned by Bounce2D.angle.

basis_in

{‘rpz’, ‘xyz’}: Basis for input params vectors, Default ‘xyz’

degree

int: Degree of polynomial used for fitting current profile. Default grid.num_rho-1

fuel

str: Fusion fuel, assuming a 50/50 mix. One of {‘DT’}. Default is ‘DT’.

gamma

float: Adiabatic index. Default 0

helicity

tuple: Type of quasisymmetry, (M,N). Default (1,0)

iota

float: Value of rotational transform on the Omnigenous surface. Default 1.0

method

Interpolation type, Default ‘cubic’. See SplineXYZCurve docs for options.

n_gauss

int: Number of quadrature points to use for estimating trapped fraction. Default 20.

nufft_eps

float :

Precision requested for interpolation with non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT). If less than 1e-14 then NUFFT will not be used.

num_pitch

int :

Resolution for quadrature over velocity coordinate.

num_quad

int :

Resolution for quadrature of bounce integrals. Default is 32. This parameter is ignored if given quad.

num_transit

int :

Number of toroidal transits to follow field line. In an axisymmetric device, field line integration over a single poloidal transit is sufficient to capture a surface average. For a 3D configuration, more transits will approximate surface averages on an irrational magnetic surface better, with diminishing returns.

num_well

int :

Maximum number of wells to detect for each pitch and field line. Giving -1 will detect all wells but due to current limitations in JAX this will have worse performance. Specifying a number that tightly upper bounds the number of wells will increase performance. In general, an upper bound on the number of wells per toroidal transit is Aι+C where A, C are the poloidal and toroidal Fourier resolution of B, respectively, in straight-field line PEST coordinates, and ι is the rotational transform normalized by 2π. A tighter upper bound than num_well=(Aι+C)*num_transit is preferable. The check_points or plot methods in desc.integrals.Bounce2D are useful to select a reasonable value.

pitch_batch_size

int :

Number of pitch values with which to compute simultaneously. If given None, then pitch_batch_size is num_pitch. Default is num_pitch.

quad

tuple[jnp.ndarray] :

Used to compute bounce integrals. Quadrature points xₖ and weights wₖ for the approximate evaluation of the integral ∫₋₁¹ f(x) dx ≈ ∑ₖ wₖ f(xₖ).

spline

bool :

Whether to use cubic splines to compute bounce points instead of Chebyshev series. Default is True.

surf_batch_size

int :

Number of flux surfaces with which to compute simultaneously. If given None, then surf_batch_size is grid.num_rho. Default is 1. Only consider increasing if pitch_batch_size is None.

theta

zeta0

array: points of vanishing integrated local shear to scan over. Default 15 points linearly spaced in [-π/2,π/2]. The values zeta0 correspond to values of ι ζ₀ and not ζ₀.
