Abstract
Generic linear axisymmetric equilibria with plasma flow nonparallel to the magnetic field are obtained on the basis of a generalized Grad-Shafranov equation by employing an ansatz reducing the problem to a set of ordinary differential equations which can be solved recursively. In particular, an ITER like equilibrium with reversed magnetic shear and peaked current density is constructed and its characteristics are studied in connection with the flow. Also for parallel flows, the linear stability is examined by means of a sufficient condition. The results indicate that the flow may have a stabilizing effect.
