The high-confinement mode (H-mode) significantly enhances the energy and particle confinement in fusion plasma compared with the low-confinement mode (L-mode), and it is the basic operation scenario for ITER and CFETR. Edge localized mode (ELM) often appears in H-mode, helping to expel impurities to maintain a longer stable state. However, the particle burst and energy burst from ELM eruptions can severely damage the first wall of fusion device, so, it is necessary to control the ELM. Experiments on EAST tokamak and HL-2A tokamak have been conducted with ELM mitigation by lower hybrid wave (LHW), confirming the effect of LHW on ELMs, but the physical mechanism of ELM mitigation by LHW is still not fully understood. In this paper, the influences of LHW injection on the linear and nonlinear characteristics of peeling-ballooning mode (P-B mode) are investigated in the edge pedestal region of H-mode plasma in tokamak by using the BOUT++ code. The simulations take into consideration both the conventional main plasma current driven by LHW and the three-dimensional perturbed magnetic field generated by the scrape-off layer helical current filament (HCF) on the P-B mode. The linear results show that the core plasma current driven by LHW moves the linear toroidal mode spectrum towards higher mode numbers and lower growth rates by reducing the normalized pressure gradient and magnetic shear of the equilibrium. Nonlinear simulations indicate that due to the broadening of the linear mode spectrum, the core current driven by LHW can reduce the pedestal energy loss caused by ELM through globally suppressing different toroidal modes of the P-B mode, and the three-dimensional perturbed magnetic field generated by LHW-driven HCF can reduce the energy loss caused by ELMs through promoting the growth of modes other than the main mode and enhancing the coupling between different modes. It is found in the study that the P-B mode promoted by the three-dimensional perturbed magnetic field generated by HCF has a mode number threshold, and when the dominant mode of the P-B mode is far from the mode number threshold driven by the three-dimensional perturbed magnetic field, the energy loss due to ELMs is more significantly reduced. These results contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the physical mechanism in ELM control experiment by LHW.
