Automatisation of Non Linear Calculations in the Theory of Fusion Reactor; AUTOMATISATION DES CALCULS NON LINEAIRES DANS LA THEORIE DES REACTEURS A FUSION

A series of techniques is presented which allow a great extension of the range of application of analog calculation in the framework of theoretical studies of fusion reactors. Although, in all the cases studied, techniques of arithmetical calculation are usable, it is not necessary to use them as high precision is not desired since the physical magnitudes are poorly known. Also, at the present stage of investigation, it is necessary to vary the parameters to a great degree and this is quite easy with the analog method. The procedures described permit a transfer to linear approximations. (J.S.R.)
