The influence of flow shear and curvature on growth rate and space structure of reactively unstable Ion-temperature-gradient-(ITG) driven modes has been studied. For the case of strongly inhomogeneous rotation, a further developed version of the direct method of J. B. Taylor and H. R. Wilson [Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 38, 1999 (1996)] has been used where the specific effects of toroidal flows have also been included. It is found that whereas velocity curvature usually has a dominant influence on dissipative modes, velocity shear is more important for reactive modes.
