Toroidal Flux Coordinates

  • Chapter
Flux Coordinates and Magnetic Field Structure

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Computational Physics ((SCIENTCOMP))

Abstract

Toroidal flux coordinates are a set of poloidal and toroidal “angles” θf and ζf chosen such that the equation of a field line is that of a straight line in those coordinates. It is common to say that the magnetic-field lines appear as straight lines, or that the magnetic field is straight in (θf , ζf ).
