Abstract
The article is devoted to the calculation of equilibrium configurations of the MEPHIST-0 tokamak plasma with a poloidal magnetic system taking into account the part responsible for compensating the magnetic field of the central solenoid using the DINA plasma physics code. The parameters of the poloidal magnetic system necessary for the formation of initial equilibrium after the discharge breakdown are obtained. The results of calibration experiments without taking into account the vacuum chamber using a pulsed current source are presented, on the basis of which the dynamic problem of plasma equilibrium calculation is formulated. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data, and the influence of the chamber on the results is considered.
