Notes:
The effect of flowing metal walls on the resistive wall instabilities is analyzed for a general cylindrically symmetric diffusive pinch configuration. Two types of liquid metal flow are analyzed: a uniform flow which is poloidally symmetric, and a two-stream flow consisting of two opposite streams splitting at the top and merging at the bottom. It is found in both configurations that when the liquid wall flow velocity exceeds a critical value, the resistive wall mode is stabilized. However, for the two-stream flow the critical velocity is several times smaller than that for the uniform flow. Still in a realistic experiment one needs a flow velocity of a few tens m/s to stabilize the resistive wall mode. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
