So there shouldn't be one "q" variable, and have unique ones for each definition? |

This is a follow on from #321 which did a quick variable rename to make the definition of
q
clearer in more places.The definition of
q
does not initially give the impression that it is the safety factor near the edge of the plasma but is instead a function of plasma radius.Ideas about renaming
q
to a different variableqedge
etc are possible though will make old input files temporarily broken until they are all updated. This definition also changes meaning depending on what model are being ran; stellarator/plasma current scalings etc.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
