Actors

EQUALslice

The EQUALslice actor reads experimental signals from the data base and calculates a free boundary equilibrium for the given time slice.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	magdiag pfsystems toroidfield limiter ironmodel msediag interfdiag polardiag coreprof	equilibrium	time iteration

The parameter time determines the time point at which the experimental signals will be sliced. The parameter iteration gives the number of iterations.

HELENA

The HELENA actor calculates a fixed boundary high resolution equilibrium in straight field line coordinates starting from plasma profiles like p', FF', p, < >, the corresponding radial points like , , and the boundary curve for a fixed boundary equilibrium calculation.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium	equilibrium	path

The parameter path is optional and allows you to redirect verbose output to the specific directory.

ILSA

The ILSA actor performs a linear MHD stability for a fixed boundary high resolution equilibrium in straight fild line coordinates.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium	mhd	path

The parameter path is optional and allows you to redirect verbose output to the specific directory.

PROGEN

The PROGEN actor either reads plasma profiles like p', FF', p, < >, the corresponding radial points like , , and the boundary curve for a fixed boundary equilibrium calculation from files or constructs them from analytic formulae.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium (empty)	equilibrium	active path_tag path

The parameter active allows you to deactivate the PROGEN actor altogether if set to 0. The parameter path is optional and allows you to redirect verbose output to the specific directory. path_tag should remain empty.

JALPHA

The JALPHA actor takes the pressure and current density profile from an incoming equilibrium CPO together with the radial positions and modifies them by scaling the edge pressure gradient and edge current density. Doing so, it maintains the total plasma energy and the total plasma current . It is designed to generate profiles for input to the HELENA actors for a j- study. Recent extensions allow to scale the width of the pedestal as well as the normalized plasma beta.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium	equilibrium	path scan_p scan_j

The parameter path is optional and allows you to redirect verbose output to the specific directory. The parameter scan_p allows you to specify the scaling factor for pedestal height, pedestal width, or plasma beta modifications for the pressure profile. The parameter scan_j allows you to specify the scaling factor for pedestal height and width for the flux surface averaged current density profile.

EQUILIBRIUM2UAL

The EQUILIBRIUM2UAL actor reads an equilibrium CPO from the specified standardized ASCII file and feeds it to the output port. Currently, the ASCII file is supposed to contain a single time slice as a scalar.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium (empty)	equilibrium	path

The path contains the path to the ASCII file including the name of the file.

MHD2UAL

The MHD2UAL actor reads an mhd CPO from the specified standardized ASCII file and feeds it to the output port. Currently, the ASCII file is supposed to contain a single time slice as a 1D vector.

Type	Input CPOs	Output CPOs	Kepler parameters
single time slice	equilibrium (empty)	mhd	path

The path contains the path to the ASCII file including the name of the file.
