The stellarator configuration can be greatly simplified when toroidal harmonics are introduced. The toroidal function satisfies Laplace's equation and together with toroidal field and vertical field, a small-aspect-ratio stellarator can be constructed with an aspect ratio as low as 3.6. This functional presentation suggests a very fast computation of particle orbits and magnetic configuration.
