Elongation and internal inductance relation for spherical tokamaks #3255

Closed stuartmuldrew closed 1 month ago

stuartmuldrew commented 1 month ago

Menard et al. (2016) proposes for an spherical tokamak a relation between elongation and internal inductance:

\kappa_x = 3.4 - l_i

This can be implemented under the iprofile switch.

Added to iprofile switch.
