desc.objectives.PlasmaCoilSetMinDistance

class desc.objectives.PlasmaCoilSetMinDistance(eq, coil, target=None, bounds=None, weight=1, normalize=True, normalize_target=True, loss_function=None, deriv_mode='auto', plasma_grid=None, coil_grid=None, eq_fixed=False, coils_fixed=False, name='plasma-coil minimum distance')Source

Target the minimum distance between the plasma and coilset.

Will yield one value per coil in the coilset, which is the minimum distance from that coil to the plasma boundary surface.

NOTE: By default, assumes the plasma boundary is not fixed and its coordinates are computed at every iteration, for example if the equilibrium is changing in a single-stage optimization. If the plasma boundary is fixed, set eq_fixed=True to precompute the last closed flux surface coordinates and improve the efficiency of the calculation.

Parameters:

• eq (Equilibrium or FourierRZToroidalSurface) – Equilibrium (or FourierRZToroidalSurface) that will be optimized to satisfy the Objective.

• coil (CoilSet) – Coil(s) that are to be optimized.

• target (float, ndarray, optional) – Target value(s) of the objective. Only used if bounds is None. Must be broadcastable to Objective.dim_f. If array, it has to be flattened according to the number of inputs.

• bounds (tuple of float, ndarray, optional) – Lower and upper bounds on the objective. Overrides target. Both bounds must be broadcastable to to Objective.dim_f

• weight (float, ndarray, optional) – Weighting to apply to the Objective, relative to other Objectives. Must be broadcastable to to Objective.dim_f

• normalize (bool, optional) – Whether to compute the error in physical units or non-dimensionalize.

• normalize_target (bool, optional) – Whether target and bounds should be normalized before comparing to computed values. If normalize is True and the target is in physical units, this should also be set to True. be set to True.

• loss_function ({None, 'mean', 'min', 'max'}, optional) – Loss function to apply to the objective values once computed. This loss function is called on the raw compute value, before any shifting, scaling, or normalization. Operates over all coils, not each individial coil.

• deriv_mode ({"auto", "fwd", "rev"}) – Specify how to compute jacobian matrix, either forward mode or reverse mode AD. “auto” selects forward or reverse mode based on the size of the input and output of the objective. Has no effect on self.grad or self.hess which always use reverse mode and forward over reverse mode respectively.

• plasma_grid (Grid, optional) – Collocation grid containing the nodes to evaluate plasma geometry at. Defaults to LinearGrid(M=eq.M_grid, N=eq.N_grid).

• coil_grid (Grid, list, optional) – Collocation grid containing the nodes to evaluate coilset geometry at. Defaults to the default grid for the given coil-type, see coils.py and curve.py for more details. If a list, must have the same structure as coils.

• eq_fixed (bool, optional) – Whether the equilibrium is fixed or not. If True, the last closed flux surface is fixed and its coordinates are precomputed, which saves on computation time during optimization, and self.things = [coil] only. If False, the surface coordinates are computed at every iteration. False by default, so that self.things = [coil, eq].

• coils_fixed (bool, optional) – Whether the coils are fixed or not. If True, the coils are fixed and their coordinates are precomputed, which saves on computation time during optimization, and self.things = [eq] only. If False, the coil coordinates are computed at every iteration. False by default, so that self.things = [coil, eq].

• name (str, optional) – Name of the objective function.
