Abstract

Improved tools have recently been developed for numerically designing low aspect ratio stellarator plasma confinement devices. The increased flexibility offered by three-dimensional magnetic flux surface shaping has allowed a range of physics targets such as improved confinement and plasma stability to be achieved in relatively compact (low aspect ratio) devices. Three-dimensional scientific visualization has been a useful tool for developing understanding and intuition in this effort.
