Abstract

An iterative technique for solving the ideal MHD equilibrium equations for a helically symmetric plasma with a free boundary is described. The method involves an application of Green's theorem and has been formulated for the geometry of a heliac. It is used to determine a stability diagram for the SHEILA heliac as a function of the plasma pressure and the current in one of the external coils.
