Short Description
Mirror and open magnetic system variants of the tokamak codes are under
development. CQL3D-M ("M" for mirror), and GENRAY-C ("C" for Cartesian)
have been converted, at least in part, from their eponymous codes. These
codes will be further developed, and the
others will be converted from the tokamak versions as needed/funded.
Date/Active Use
2011
Authors
Yu.V. Petrov, R.W. Harvey
Language
F77/F90 + MPI
Purpose/Function/Special Features
The purpose is for applications to open magnetic systems such as the
Proto-MPEX [1,2], C-2U [3,4], and GDT[5,6].
Basic Algorithms
Equilibrium geometry is specified by analytical formulas and by
the eqdsk format files.
Coupled Diagnostics
The CQL3D suite of diagnostics CQL3D are available.
Key Results
Please see Refs. 2 and 4, below, for first results from GENRAY-C, and
Ref. 6 for first results from CQL3D-M.
