The three-dimensional Variational Moments Equilibrium Code (VMEC) minimizes the energy functional
over the toroidal domain ωp. The solution is obtained in flux co-ordinates (s, θ, ζ), related to the cylindrical co-ordinates (R, φ, Z) by
The code assumes nested flux surfaces. [1]
Implementations of the code
The code is being used at:
- IPP-Garching, Germany
- NIFS, Japan
- LNF, Spain
Enhancements / extensions of the code
