The poloidal rotation velocity profiles both in low-confinement (L) and high-confinement (H) mode measured in JAERI Fusion Torus 2 Modified (JFT-2M) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1364 (1990)] are compared with H-mode models based on ion orbit loss. The profiles of poloidal rotation velocity measured in L and H modes are consistent with the calculation which consists of ion orbit loss model. The observed dependence of the thickness of the layer of high shear E_r on poloidal gyroradius is explained by the radial transport of poloidal rotation velocity
