摘要
The Grad-Shafranov equation describes the magnetic flux distribution of plasma in an axisymmetric system such as a tokamak-type nuclear fusion device. This paper presents a scheme to solve the hyper singular boundary integral equation (HBIE) corresponding to this Grad-Shafranov equation. All hyper and strong singularities caused by differentials of the complete elliptic integrals have been regularized up to the level of the Cauchy principal value integral. Test calculations commonly using discontinuous boundary elements have been made to compare the HBIE solutions with the solutions of the standard boundary integral equation (SBIE).
