''φ'' is called the ''toroidal angle'' (and not the ''cylindrical'' angle, at least not in the context of magnetic confinement).
''φ'' is called the ''toroidal angle'' (and not the ''cylindrical'' angle, at least not in the context of magnetic confinement).
Cylindrical symmetry (symmetry under rotation over φ) is referred to as ''axisymmetry''.
