Abstract

It is shown that destabilization of resistive wall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes in the presence of rotation is a mode coupling phenomenon. Based on this observation, certain unanticipated effects are readily explained. These include the fact that resistive wall modes with rotation can be unstable, even for parameters for which the MHD modes are stable with the wall at infinity, and the fact that this destabilization depends critically on the plasma parameters.
