The concept of merging tokamak plasmas is proposed. It has potential applications for solving the problems of pseudo steady-state tokamak operation, refuelling, impurity removal and plasma heating. The currents in the two merging tokamak plasmas are in the same direction so that the columns attract each other. A model for the merging process is given.

The axisymmetric visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic steady states allowing flows (i.e. non-vanishing velocity fields) are computed for a toroidal JET-like geometry. It is shown that a spatially inhomogeneous heating of moderate magnitude leads to an increase of typical toroidal speeds with respect to the situation with uniform temperature with identical mean Hartmann numbers. A symmetry argument is introduced to capture the symmetry breaking, induced by the temperature gradient, that produces a net toroidal plasma flow.
