Abstract. Toroidal rotation plays an important role in transport and
stability of burning plasmas, and clarification of the mechanism of
rotations spontaneously generated by perpendicular NBI and ICRF can help
evaluate the rotations in the plasmas quantitatively, contributing to
accurate control of them. In order to study the properties of plasma
rotations, one-dimensional multi-fluid transport code TASK/TX has been
developed, which is the first code to self-consistently solve a tokamak
plasma evolution including a plasma rotation and a radial electric field
Er. TASK/TX automatically generates a return current

due to the charge separation originated from the difference in electron and
ion banana orbit widths, resulting in a

torque on a bulk plasma. Through the simulations, we confirm the generated
torque drives a toroidal rotation accompanied by the modification of a
radial electric field without having to add extra torque input term in
equations of motion, while a poloidal rotation almost remains unchanged. It
is found that the toroidal rotation decreases with a weaker dependence than
inversely proportional as the turbulent viscosity increases.
