Quasisymmetry

Revision as of 10:44, 8 September 2013 by Admin (talk | contribs)

Quasisymmetric (quasihelically symmetric) plasma equilibria are non-axisymmetric configurations in which the magnetic field strength depends only on one angular coordinate within the magnetic flux surfaces. [1]

An example of quasisymmetry is quasipoloidal symmetry, on which the design of the QPS stellarator is based. [2]
