abstractNote = {The effect of sheared flow on a magnetic island is examined. In contrast to the density and temperature gradients which are flattened for sufficiently wide islands, it is found that the velocity gradient persists inside the separatrix whenever the constant-{psi} approximation is satisfied. It follows that velocity shear has a negligible effect on island amplitude in that approximation. The effect of the violation of the constant-{psi} approximation is explored by using the Kelvin-Stuart family of islands, and it is found that flattening is modest even when the separatrix encloses virtually all the current.},
