In contrast with other local equilibria, which provide simple magnetic-surface parametrisations at the cost of complex poloidal-field flux descriptions, the proposed model is intentionally built to afford analytically tractable magnetic-field components. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for analytical assessments of equilibrium-shaping effects on a variety of tokamak-plasma phenomena.Physics, Fluids & PlasmasPhysicstokamaksmhd equilibrialocal analytical equilibriaup-down asymmetric plasmastemperature-gradient turbulenceballooning modesaspect-ratiostabilitymhdsheardrivenLocal up-down asymmetrically shaped equilibrium model for tokamak plasmastext::journal::journal article::research article
