Abstract

Three-dimensional MHD equilibrium studies have been done for low-aspect-ratio torsatrons. These studies cover continuous-coil and modular torsatrons. The equilibrium properties improve with aspect ratio, as is expected. The role played by the vertical field has also been investigated. Outward shifts cause the flux surfaces to deteriorate. Inward shifts improve the flux surfaces at the expense of stability properties.
