✦ Synopsis
The reduced system of non-linear resistive MHD equations is used in the 2-D one helicity approximation in the numerical computations of stationary tearing modes. The critical magnetic Reynolds number S (S = ;/TH where Tj~and TH are, respectively, the characteristic resistive and hydromagnetic times) and the corresponding linear solution are computed as a starting approximation for the full non-linear equations. These equations are then treated numerically by an iterative procedure which is shown to be rapidly convergent. A numerical application is given in the last part of this paper.
