Dedicated experiments have been carried out at the J-TEXT tokamak for investigating plasma responses to the externally applied resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) field with various RMP currents under four different toroidal phases. After its penetration, the dominant component of the RMP resonated at q=2 surface and excited an m/n=2/1 magnetic island, which rotated poloidally when changing the toroidal phase of the RMP. The experimental results show significant influence of the RMP on plasma toroidal and perpendicular rotations, density fluctuations and geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) as well as nonlinear interaction of ambient turbulence. Whereas the plasma rotations do not show big difference at the RMP-induced island O- and X-point, the turbulence level is substantially lower at the island O-point due to reduced local temperature gradient. The GAM zonal flows outside the island area are profoundly affected by the RMP in various RMP phases. Furthermore, it was found that under certain RMP currents the nonlinear coupling of ambient turbulence was considerably enhanced, no matter of at the island O- or X-point. The results suggest a possible controlling role of the RMP in regulating the nonlinear interplay of electrostatic turbulence.
