 note = {0000-0001-5668-6900, Current interchange tearing modes (CITMs) have been proposed to explain an intermittent eruption of electric current toward a divertor at an edge region of a tokamak device. Extended magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations combined with the Scrape-Off-Layer diffusion model, which has been developed by the authors [Miura et al., Phys. Plasmas 24, 092111 (2017)], are carried out in order to study the growth of a CITM under influences of two-fluid and gyro-viscous effects, or non-ideal MHD effects. Numerical simulations both with and without an externally imposed azimuthal flow show that the growth of a CITM is observed for a relatively small flow velocity, and that a CITM can be a candidate mechanism for the intermittent eruption of the current in a tokamak, whether the growth is under influences of non-ideal MHD effects or not. The growth can be suppressed when an externally imposed azimuthal flow is sufficiently large to cause a finite radial displacement because such a displacement prevents a transition from an interchange to a tearing mode that is the key process of a CITM. Furthermore, it is also found that a stripe pattern similar to so-called streamers is formed in the course of the CITM growth. The basic nature of this streamer-like structure is also presented.},
