Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes with m = ±1 ( m : azimuthal mode number) in a current-carrying inhomegeneous plasma are numerically investigated on the basis of wave equations derived from MHD equations, which include effects of finite ion-cyclotron frequency and ion-neutral collisions. In addition to MHD surface waves, kink instability, global Alfven eigenmode (GAE) and shear Alfven wave appear when plasma current flows in a plasma column with inhomogeneous density.
