Notes:
Model equations describing dynamics of a toroidal ηi mode in a rotating plasma are derived. The stationary solution of the model equations is investigated analytically and the condition for global vortex formation is found. The form of the solution is verified numerically and it is shown that the shape of global vortices is affected strongly by the shear of the plasma poloidal rotation. In weak shear, the stationary solution looks like a dipole vortex, while in strong shear, the main part of the plasma cross section is occupied by vortex flow. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
