The ellipticity refers to the shape of the poloidal cross section of the Last Closed [[Flux surface]] or [[separatrix]] of a [[tokamak]].
It is defined as the total vertical height of the cross section (2''b'') divided by the total horizontal width of the cross section (2''a'').
It is defined as the maximum vertical height of the cross section (2''b'') divided by the maximum horizontal width of the cross section (2''a'').
