Detailed Description

The namelist globallist controls the search for global force-balance.

Comments:

• The "force" vector, \({\bf F}\), which is constructed in dforce(), is a combination of pressure-imbalance Fourier harmonics,

  \begin{eqnarray} F_{i,v} \equiv [[ p+B^2/2 ]]_{i,v} \times \exp\left[-\texttt{escale}(m_i^2+n_i^2) \right] \times \texttt{opsilon}, \label{eq:forcebalancemn_global} \end{eqnarray}

  and spectral-condensation constraints, \(I_{i,v}\), and the "star-like" angle constraints, \(S_{i,v,}\), (see lforce() for details)

  \begin{eqnarray} F_{i,v} \equiv \texttt{epsilon} \times I_{i,v} + \texttt{upsilon} \times \left( \psi_v^\omega S_{i,v,1} - \psi_{v+1}^\omega S_{i,v+1,0} \right), \label{eq:spectralbalancemn_global} \end{eqnarray}

  where \(\psi_v\equiv\) normalized toroidal flux, tflux, and \(\omega\equiv\) wpoloidal.

Variable Documentation

lfindzero

integer inputlist::lfindzero = 0

use Newton methods to find zero of force-balance, which is computed by dforce()

• if Lfindzero = 0, then dforce() is called once to compute the Beltrami fields consistent with the given geometry and constraints
• if Lfindzero = 1, then call C05NDF (uses function values only), which iteratively calls dforce()
• if Lfindzero = 2, then call C05PDF (uses derivative information), which iteratively calls dforce()

escale

real inputlist::escale = 0.0

controls the weight factor, BBweight, in the force-imbalance harmonics

• BBweight(i) \(\displaystyle \equiv \texttt{opsilon} \times \exp\left[-\texttt{escale} \times (m_i^2+n_i^2) \right]\)
• defined in preset() ; used in dforce()
• also see Eqn. \((\ref{eq:forcebalancemn_global})\)

pcondense

real inputlist::pcondense = 2.0

spectral condensation parameter

• used in preset() to define mmpp(i) \(\equiv m_i^p\), where \(p\equiv \) pcondense
• the angle freedom is exploited to minimize \(\displaystyle \texttt{epsilon} \sum_{i} m_i^p (R_{i}^2+Z_{i}^2)\) with respect to tangential variations in the interface geometry
• also see Eqn. \((\ref{eq:spectralbalancemn_global})\)

forcetol

real inputlist::forcetol = 1.0e-10

required tolerance in force-balance error; only used as an initial check

• if the initially supplied interfaces are consistent with force-balance to within forcetol then the geometry of the interfaces is not altered
• if not, then the geometry of the interfaces is changed in order to bring the configuration into force balance so that the geometry of interfaces is within c05xtol, defined below, of the true solution
• to force execution of either C05NDF or C05PDF, regardless of the initial force imbalance, set forcetol < 0

  where \(j\) labels free-boundary iterations, and \(({\bf B}\cdot{\bf n})^{*}\) is computed by virtual casing.
