Geometric formulas for system codes including the effect of negative triangularity

Olivier Sauter

Formulas for the volume, poloidal and toroidal surfaces, poloidal length, plasma current, and hence average poloidal field, are determined using global parameters of tokamak plasmas. Previous formulas did not include systematically the effect of triangular ...
