Abstract
“Proper” toroidal coordinates are not frequently utilized for describing the physics of toroidally confined plasmas. However, they have been employed occasionally (Shafranov 1960 and Fielding and Hitchon 1980). Furthermore, these coordinates have their own intrinsic value, since many problems in mathematical physics in toroidal geometry have made use of them (see e.g. Morse and Feshbach 1953).
