Abstract

The time evolution of magnetic island in the nonlinear phase of the resistive interchange mode is examined in the cylindrical geometry. The effects of self-consistent uniform poloidal flow is taken into account. In this case, the reconnection of the magnetic field line occurs both at the saturation of the dominant unstable mode and at the saturation of the n = 0 mode, where n is the toroidal mode number, through the curvature change of perturbed poloidal flux surface.
