Hamada coordinates are a set of [[Flux coordinates#Magnetic coordinates|magnetic coordinates]] in which the equilibrium current density <math>\mathbf{j}</math> lines are straight besides those of magnetic field <math>\mathbf{B}</math>. The periodic part of the [[Flux coordinates#Magnetic field representation in flux coordinates|stream functions]] of both <math>\mathbf{B}</math> and <math>\mathbf{j}</math> are flux functions (that can be chosen to be zero without loss of generality). | |||

The Hamada angles are sometimes defined in 'turns' (i.e. <math>(\theta, \xi) \in [0,1)</math>) instead of radians (<math>(\theta, \xi) \in [0,2\pi)</math>)). This choice together with the choice of the volume <math>V</math> as radial coordinate makes the Jacobian equal to unity. Alternatively one can select <math>\psi = \frac{V}{4\pi^2}</math> as radial coordinate with the same effect. | ||
