摘要: An efficient method is given to reconstruct the current profile parameters, plasma shape, and a consistent with magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium constraint from external magnetic measurements, based on Picard iteration approach which approximately conserves measurements. Computational efforts are reduced by parametrizing linearly in terms of number physical parameters. Results detailed comparative calculations sensitivity study described. Illustrative profiles shapes ohmically auxiliarily heated Doublet III plasmas show many interesting features profiles.
