Talk:Grad–Shafranov equation

"too technical" tag[edit]

I removed the tag. Feel free to add it back, but please leave some specific suggestions as to how the article could be improved. Lunch 02:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just added a derivation of the Grad-Shafranov equation in Cartesian coordinates. Is the derivation understandable to a reader with a knowledge of vector calculus and magnetism? If I have time in a few days, I'll change the form of the equation in the beginning of the article to match the form in the derivation. I think this equation (like most equations) is easier to understand in Cartesian coordinates. However, I'll move the spherical coordinate form of the equation to the end of the article, since that is the form of the equation normally used in tokamak applications.

Hey, I am not quite sure what Slab coordinates are. Apparently cartesian coordinates are meant, but according to google the expression slab coordinates is barely in use. I would therefore suggest to just write cartesian coordinates if that´s what is meant to keep the confusion as low as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sputnik331 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Derivation Added[edit]

I add a derivation in contravariant coordinates, it is simple and intuitive. It utilizes the contravariant basis with the definition of Professor Roscoe White. If there still be questions, plz comment. AllenChengBuaa (talk) 17:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
