- Summary
- This report summarizes our work in the past year on stellarator transport theory and stability. We have developed two methods of calculating diffusion rates due to ripple transport: a ''hybrid'' bounce-averaged/guiding-center Monte Carlo code, and a numerical method of solving the bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck equation. We have modified a one-dimensional transport code to describe the Wisconsin stellarator experiments and applied it to interpret experimental results, and we have studied stability in stellarators by writing a computer code which solves the linearized ''double-adiabatic'' equations as an initial value problem. 20 refs., 7 figs.
