The effect of the toroidal flow and flow shear on the m/n
=
2/1 tearing mode (TM) has been investigated in J-TEXT tokamak, where m and n are the poloidal and toroidal mode numbers. It is found that the toroidal flow increment is linearly modulated by the bias current/return current. The frequency of the 2/1 TM is also found to be proportional to the toroidal flow during the bias phase, which is consistent with the theoretical expectation. The electron diamagnetic drift frequency is almost constant before and during the bias phase. Moreover, the statistical analysis shows that the saturated island width of the TM is more correlated to the toroidal flow amplitude than the flow shear, which reveals that the effect of the TM depends on the magnitude of the toroidal flow rather than the flow shear. This result may illustrate the process of the 2/1 TM controlled by the electrode biasing, and suggests that changing the magnitude of toroidal flow is a possible method for stabilizing the TM.
