The fast ion transport associated with resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) contains rich physical spanning single particle motion of fast particle and plasmas response physics with RMP and their interaction. Full numerical simulation considering such physical ingredients should be performed in a long run for clarifying the underlying physical features of the fast ion confinement with RMP. Thus, the appropriate application of RMP is not only to avoid the detrimental effects but also to serve as an actuator to exert targeted control over the energetic particle profile. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive knowledge of the effects of RMP including plasma response on fast ions is necessary. In this work, the plasma response to RMP in HL-2A device is simulated by the MARS-F code under different parameters including finite resistivity, toroidal rotation frequency and toroidal mode number, and the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field topology considering RMP is obtained. Then, Boris algorithm is used to track the ion orbit under these 3D fields, and the physical mechanism of ion orbit characteristics changed by the perturbed field is explored in detail. It is found that with the increase of finite resistivity, the average value of perturbed magnetic field decreases, and the orbit radial expansion turns smaller. The variation of toroidal rotation frequency can change the distribution of perturbed magnetic field, resulting in different orbit radial expansions for different kinds of orbits. What is more, if the toroidal mode number increases, the amplitude of perturbed magnetic field after response decreases obviously, thus resulting in little effect on orbit radial expansion. In a word, the plasma responded RMP field enhances the orbit radial expansion, and the maximum orbital radial expansion increases with the augment of average value of perturbed magnetic field on the orbit. Meanwhile, the amplitude of orbit expansion increases significantly when the ions pass through the region where the perturbed magnetic field is strongly amplified. This effect can explain the increase of ion prompt loss and enhancement of plasma radial transport in edge localized mode mitigation experiments by RMP. -
