Abstract

Plasma flow affects the stability of a magnetic island via modification of the ion inertial current. It is shown here that certain profiles of plasma velocity with shear may provide a stabilizing influence on the magnetic island. Such profiles of the plasma flow are characterized by inite plasma circulation inside a magnetic island.
