Island Width Evaluation used in VACISLD using VMEC data. Errors in VACISLD code found which explain why earlier attempts to benchmark with PIES failed. Island Size under predicted by a factor of ~ 4. phi coordinate must be full phi ( varies 0 to 2 pi over machine,

Island Width Evaluation used in VACISLD using VMEC data Errors in VACISLD code found which explain why earlier attempts to benchmark with PIES failed. Island Size under predicted by a factor of ~ 4. phi coordinate must be full phi ( varies 0 to 2 pi over machine, not per period – differs by Nper ) must be VMEC phip, not phiedge ( differs by 2 pi )
