Submissions are invited for a Topical Collection of EPJ D on 3D physics in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF).
The pursuit of magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) as a transformative clean energy source faces critical challenges in plasma confinement and stability. Addressing these necessitates a profound understanding and active exploitation of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field effects, moving beyond traditional axisymmetric approaches. This special issue focuses on the rapidly evolving frontier of 3D physics in MCF, encompassing resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs), magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) instabilities and their control, turbulences in 3D magnetic flux surfaces, 3D boundary transport and stellarator optimization using quasi-symmetric configuration, etc.
