Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for PlasmaControl/DESC: Key accomplishments include delivering preliminary magnetic field computation capabilities and flux-surface averages. Specifically, introduced three new preliminary terms for magnetic field calculations (test term1, test term2, test term3) and three flux-surface averaged quantities (<1>, <1/|B|^2>, <1/|grad(rho)|^2>). This work is supported by commit c5be64673373fd13bb65b46809651c2bdc43e29c with message 'adding preliminary terms'. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus was feature delivery and groundwork for future iterations. Overall impact: improves modeling fidelity for magnetic-field calculations and radial basis vector magnitude analysis, enabling more accurate simulations and data-driven design decisions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: numerical methods for magnetic-field terms, flux-surface averaging, version control discipline, and integration of new physics terms in PlasmaControl/DESC.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 (PlasmaControl/DESC): Delivered accuracy and reliability improvements to the BallooningStability objective. Replaced normalization length scale calculation from LinearGrid to QuadratureGrid, resulting in more precise a_N estimation; updated and expanded tests to cover the new approach. Fixed normalization length 'a' handling and added a CHANGELOG entry to document the change. These changes, together with documentation, strengthen model fidelity and traceability for design decisions.

Oct 1, 2024Month: 2024-10 — PlasmaControl/DESC focused on data integrity improvements in BallooningStability. Delivered a critical bug fix to correct iota handling in eq._get_rtz_grid, ensuring correct iota values are primed in the data dictionary and preventing recomputation with incorrect grid values. The fix is committed as 006dcc9739cf010140bc0f2542a1ae811a39bbe7 ("adding iota to eq._get_rtz_grid"). Note: multi-rho support would require modification in a future update. Overall impact: more reliable BallooningStability grids, improved simulation accuracy, and reduced downstream errors. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Python debugging, careful data handling in data dictionaries, and targeted fixes in numerical grid computation.
