12. Other configurations¶
Command line utilities are provided for a couple of non-standard configurations.
12.1. Circular geometry¶
hypnotoad-circular
provides an interface for creating a grid file for a
configuration with concentric, circular flux surfaces. Input is provided by a
YAML settings file, passed as a command line argument. The grid can be ‘core
only’ (only closed flux surfaces) when limiter = False
or ‘SOL only’ (field
lines end on a limiter, no closed flux surfaces) when limiter = True
.
The full set of options are listed here: Circular options. Nonorthogonal options can also be used, but are unlikely to be helpful as any limiter present is orthogonal to the flux surfaces.
hypnotoad-circular
¶
Create a grid file for a configuration with circular, concentric flux surfaces.
usage: hypnotoad-circular [-h] [--pdb] [--plot-regions] [--plot-mesh]
[inputfile]
Positional Arguments¶
- inputfile
Named Arguments¶
- --pdb
Default: False
- --plot-regions
Default: False
- --plot-mesh
Default: False
12.2. TORPEX X-point¶
hypnotoad-torpex
provides an interface for creating a grid file for a
configuration with an isolated X-point, where all four separatrix branches end
on a wall so there are no closed flux surfaces. A configuration of this type
was studied in the TORPEX device.
The full set of options are listed here: TORPEX options. Note that at least psi_core
and psi_sol
are required to be
set (some values whose defaults say ‘Required’ in the table will have default
values set from those two).
Nonorthogonal options can also be used: Nonorthogonal options.
