Abstract
Flux Coordinates and Magnetic Field Structure gives a systematic and rigorous presentation of the mathematical framework and principles underlying the commonly used magnetic-flux-coordinate systems for magnetically confined fusion plasmas, including covariant and contravariant representations and their relationships. After a brief treatment of vector algebra in curvilinear coordinate systems the book introduces concepts such as flux surfaces, the rotational transform, and magnetic differential equations. Various specific types of coordinate systems are then dealt with in detail. Researchers and advanced students in plasma physics, electromagnetics, and mathematical physics will greatly benefit from this useful guide and reference book. (orig.).
