Let's simulate magnetic reconnection (re-connection of magnetic field lines). This magnetic reconnection is considered to take place in solar flare etc.
 |
[Initial Condition]Unti-parallel magnetic fields are placed in both sides with the boundary at x=0 and magnetic diffusion takes place at the region near (x,y)=(0,0).In the figure, color shows density, arrows show velocity, and lines show magnetic field lines. Color coding of the density is in logarithmic scale. |
 |
[Evolved Stage]In the magnetic diffusion area, magnetic reconnectiontakes place and a clump of plasma moves upward violently with shock wave. |
