Abstract
The incompressible resistive ballooning mode equation that retains the effects of the centrifugal force due to toroidal plasma rotation is derived. In the small rotation velocity limit, the static results are recovered. For large rotation velocity the model scales linearly with resistivity and is driven by the interaction of the curvature and the centrifugal force with the radial pressure and mass density gradients, respectively.Keywords
