Tokamak Equilibrium

Tokamak Equilibrium is a theoretical framework in plasma physics that describes the steady-state magnetic and pressure balance within a toroidal fusion device, distinguished by the self-consistent solution of the Grad-Shafranov equation under axisymmetric conditions specific to tokamak geometry.
