Suppression and saturation of error field-driven tearing mode for different magnetic shears in rotating plasmas

Effects of the equilibrium plasma flow on the error field-driven tearing mode are investigated in a two-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamics model. It is found that nonlinear suppression of the tearing mode is dominated by the interaction between the magnetic island and the error field rather...
