A benchmark exercise for the modeling of vertical displacement events (VDEs) is presented and applied to the 3D nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic codes M3D-C1, JOREK, and NIMROD. The simulations are based on a vertically unstable NSTX equilibrium enclosed by an axisymmetric resistive wall with a rectangular cross section. A linear dependence of the linear VDE growth rates on the resistivity of the wall is recovered for sufficiently large wall conductivity and small temperatures in the open field line region. The benchmark results show good agreement between the VDE growth rates obtained from linear NIMROD and M3D-C1 simulations and from the linear phase of axisymmetric nonlinear JOREK, NIMROD, and M3D-C1 simulations. Axisymmetric nonlinear simulations of a full VDE performed with the three codes are compared, and an excellent agreement is found regarding the plasma location and plasma currents, as well as eddy and halo currents in the wall.
