报告摘要：
A stellarator is a toroidal device that confines plasmas using a non-axisymmetric magnetic field mainly produced by external coils. Compared to other magnetic confinement fusion concepts, stellarators are inherently steady state, immune to large current-driven instabilities, requiring low re-circulating power. These advantages make stellarators an attractive candidate for future fusion power plants.
The confining magnetic field in stellarators is sufficiently dominated by external rather than by currents internal to the plasma, which makes the computational design more predictable. Large numbers of freedom make it possible to find optimized configurations with favorable properties. This becomes possible in the last few decades with the advances in theoretical knowledge and computational tools. In this talk, I will briefly introduce how to design modern stellarators. The topics in 3D MHD equilibrium, stability, particle transport, coil design, etc. will be covered.
