Abstract

The pyGSS code constructed for computation of free-boundary plasma equilibrium in spherical
Globus-M2 tokamak is described. Currents in the coils of the electromagnetic system, their coordinates,
plasma current, positions of the limiter and current-conducting wall, etc., are used as the input parameters.
Free parameters determining spatial distribution of equilibrium pressure and current density are selected in
the course of code execution in such a way that the results of reconstruction would agree with the experimental
measurements of the poloidal magnetic flux by means of toroidally closed loops. The results of computation
of equilibrium are compared with those obtained by means of other codes and experimentally measured
thermal plasma energy, position of the separatrix outer leg, the diamagnetic-loop signal, etc.

Keywords

spherical tokamak, high-temperature plasma, equilibrium, Grad–Shafranov equation
