The ideal Magneto-HydroDynamic (MHD) equilibrium of a near-Maxwellian magnetically confined plasma is obtained by solving the force balance equation
A large number of codes is available to evaluate the MHD equilibria.
2-D codes
3-D codes
- VMEC (nested flux surfaces)
- IPEC (nested flux surfaces)
- HINT/HINT2
- PIES
- Siesta (islands, fixed boundary)
