Interchangeable module stellarator

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci.; (United States)
The Interchangeable Module Stellarator (IMS) is a new toroidal stellarator-type device under design and construction at the University of Wisconsin Torsatron/Stellarator Laboratory. A new design strategy for constructing stellarator magnetic fields from discrete modular coils has been developed, utilizing orthogonal toroidal coordinates. Application of this method has resulted in a modular coil system (IMS), whose magnetic structure closely approximates that of the Proto-Cleo l.3 7-field period device (i.e., rotational transform, shear, flux volume, etc.). 8 refs.
