Given an axisymmetric tokamak equilibrium in
coordinates (e.g.,
2D data
on a rectangular grids
in G-file), we can
construct a magnetic surface coordinates
by the
following two steps. (1) Find out a series of magnetic surfaces on
plane and select radial coordinates for each magnetic surface (e.g. the
poloidal flux within each magnetic surface). (2) Specify the Jacobian or some
property you want the poloidal angle to have. Then calculate the poloidal
angle of each point on each flux surface (on the
plane)
by using Eq. (188) (if the Jacobian is specified) or some method
specified by you to achieve some property you prefer for the poloidal angle
(if you do not specify a Jacobian). Then we obtain the magnetic surface
coordinates system
.
