The influence of toroidal sheared equilibrium flows on the nonlinear evolution of classical and neoclassical tearing modes is studied through numerical solutions of a set of reduced generalized MHD equations that include viscous force effects based on neoclassical closures. In general, differential flow is found to have a strong stabilizing influence leading to lower saturated island widths for the classical tearing mode and reduced growth rates for the neoclassical mode. Velocity shear, on the other hand, is seen to make a destabilizing contribution.
