DEXTER - Dynamics of Experimental Toroidal Equilibrium Reconstructions

A code for performing calculations and simulations of particles and magnetic field lines, with reconstructed equilibria from experimental data.

The data must be in netCDF format.

The bulk computations are implemented in Rust. The Rust code consists of standalone crates that can be used independently and as is.

The Python interface directly exposes all underlying objects and routines in the form of a single python package:

>>> import dexter as dx
>>>
>>> qfactor = dx.Qfactor(path="./data.nc", typ="cubic")

while also providing plotting methods and scripts for handling and converting netCDF files.

An npz file can be converted to a netCDF file with the npz_to_netcdf project script:

> npz_to_netcdf "data.npz" "data.nc"

Plotting scripts are installed with the dexter python package as project scripts:

> qfactor_plot "data.nc"
> harmonic_plot "data.nc" 0 1 -t steffen
> bfield_plot --help # print help message
