helical device (LHD) are investigated by measuring the radial profile of the poloidal flow with
charge exchange spectroscopy and measuring the time evolution of the electron
temperature with ECE. A vortex-like plasma flow along the magnetic flux surface inside the
magnetic island is observed when the n/m= 1/1 external perturbation field becomes large
enough to increase the magnetic island width above a critical range (15–20% of minor …
