Abstract

What is the minimal information that must be supplied on a constant pressure surface of a toroidal plasma to completely specify a local magnetohydrodyamic equilibrium? Clearly the shape of the surface must be specified, but other information such as the separation between neighboring surfaces must also be given. This paper explores the conditions required for three-dimensional equilibria and how local equilibrium constraints are related to global constraints. The resulting conditions provide useful checks on the accuracy of equilibrium solvers, particularly for solvers for three-dimensional equilibria, and allow local refinements in the accuracy of equilibria.
