The spontaneous toroidal rotation velocity under the no/low direct toroidal momentum input, particularly from the electron cyclotron (EC) wave injection has been investigated in JT-60U plasmas. It is found that the response of toroidal rotation velocity to the central EC injection is towards the co-current direction in L-mode plasma. The region of the change in the toroidal rotation velocity is wider than the EC deposition profile and similar to that in electron temperature. The observed co-rotation velocity in the combined heating of EC and lower hybrid wave increases with the increase in the stored energy and a large positive radial electric field is formed in the strong co-rotating plasma. Furthermore the short pulse off-axis EC injection experiment shows that the perturbation of the toroidal rotation velocity towards the co-direction propagates to the centre with increase in its amplitude, suggesting an inward pinch in momentum transport.
