Abstract

The nonlinear evolution of tearing modes in the presence of sheared mass flow is studied as an initial value problem. Under certain conditions, when the mode is driven unstable primarily by the mass flow, the nonlinear evolution leads to a dynamic state in which the size and shape of the magnetic islands are oscillatory.
