Combination of quasi-isodynamic and piecewise omnigenous magnetic fields

Nuclear Fusion
Due to their simultaneous optimization for radial and parallel neoclassical transport, quasi-isodynamic (QI) fields have been the main choice of stellarator magnetic configuration for most fusion reactor candidates in recent years.

Stellar Chromospheres [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1980
Important progress in our understanding of stellar chromospheres has occurred in the past few years as a result of new observations, developments in spectral line formation theory, and the application of that theory to the construction of detailed model chromospheres.

The topology of non-resonant stellarator divertors

Nuclear Fusion
We apply topological methods to better understand how the magnetic field in the stellarator edge can be diverted away from the confined region. Our primary method is calculating the winding numbers of closed contours, which gives information on the ...

Direct construction of low-aspect-ratio advanced stellarators via asymptotic expansion

Nuclear Fusion
Advanced stellarators are promising candidates for fusion reactors due to their intrinsic steady-state operation capability and excellent plasma confinement properties.

Stellarator fusion systems enabled by arrays of planar coils

Nuclear Fusion
We present an overview of a novel electromagnetic coil configuration for stellarators and its application to two near-term fusion systems. The novel coil configuration is the planar coil stellarator, able to implement precisely-quasisymmetric 3D magnetic

Trapped electron mode in a quasi-isodynamic stellarator

Nuclear Fusion
Global gyrokinetic simulations find a strongly unstable trapped electron mode excited by a density gradient in a quasi-isodynamic stellarator. The eigenmode structure localizes on the inner side of the torus with an unfavorable magnetic curvature and ...

Stellar ages and stellar rotation

, 2016
Stellar ages will play a big role in the next generation of astronomy. Useful to exoplaneteers and galactic archaeologists alike, this relatively under-exploited stellar property is currently limited by the precision of dating techniques. The work presented in this thesis contributes incrementally to a greater understanding of rotation period decay in ...

Stellar Oscillons

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998
ABSTRACT: We study the weakly nonlinear evolution of acoustic instability of a plane‐parallel polytrope with thermal dissipation in the form of Newton's law of cooling. The most unstable horizontal wavenumbers form a band around zero and this permits the development of a nonlinear pattern theory leading to a complex Ginzburg‐Landau equation (CGLE ...
