GSSMG CODE FACT SHEET

1. Code Name: GSSMG

2. Category: MHD equilibrium

3. Responsible Scientist: Bas Braams

4. Others involved in code development: None

5. One line description: Solve the axisymmetric MHD equilibrium equation by a multigrid method.

6. Computer systems which code runs on: Any.

7. Typical running time (if applicable): A few seconds per calculation.

8. Approximate number of code lines: 3000

9. Does this code read data files from another code? No.

10. Does this code produce data files that can be read by another code? Yes, it produces a flux functio on a mesh.

11. 1-2 paragraph description of code: The code solves the Grad-(Schlueter-)Shafranov equation on a rectangular mesh subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions by use of a multigrid method. The discretization employs a fourth-order accurate compact nine-point stencil. The multigrid algorithm is of the full approximation storage, full multigrid variety and employs adaptive switching criteria.
