Abstract

A sufficient condition for the linear stability of three dimensional equilibria with incompressible flows parallel to the magnetic field is derived. The condition refers to internal modes and involves physically interpretable terms related to the magnetic shear and the flow shear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
