[Phys. Fluids B 3, 2066 (1991)] and Hsu et al. [Phys. Plasmas 3, 266 (1996)] to the case of toroidally flowing plasma, assuming ideal magnetohydrodynamics and isothermal magnetic surfaces. Invoking the ordering βq²>>ε² and M²φq²>>ε, we solve the boundary layer problem, re-obtaining the static solution in the zero flow limit. The phenomenon of extreme plasma diamagnetism in the static solution was found to be reduced due to centrifugal drift currents for significant toroidalflow. Example equilibrium calculations are presented using plasma parameters which are approaching attainable values in next generation spherical tokamaks.http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1070-664X..."Publishers version/PDF may be used on author's personal website, institutional website or institutional repository" from SHERPA/RoMEO site (as at 8/12/15).
