Abstract

A method is presented for solving the toroidal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equation in a coordinate system based on the magnetic field lines. Both fixed boundary (conducting shell) and free boundary (external coil) boundary conditions are considered. A comparison with a special analytic solution is made. The method is useful for obtaining equilibria to use in tokamak stability and transport calculations.
