Description

The bifurcation of perpendicular rotation ($v_{\perp}$) at the transition of ELM-crash suppression has been measured using electron cyclotron emission imaging (ECEI) system on KSTAR. The ECEI revealed that the ELM crashes are suppressed along with a rapid reduction of $v_{\perp}$, which synchronizes with the transition into and out of the ELM-crash suppression. The $v_{\perp}$ bifurcation is mainly attributed to the rapid change of $E \times B$ velocity and the $v_{\perp}$ magnitude is maintained the smallest near the $q_{95}$ rational flux surface during the ELM-crash suppression. The plasma response to the RMP, normalized by $v_{\perp}$ changes, is strongest in the vicinity of $q_{95}$ rational flux surface during the ELM-crash suppression.
