Abstract

Investigates a self-organization process of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma with a finite thermal conductivity, by means of a three-dimensional MHD simulation. Smoothing of the perpendicular component of electric current and the nonuniformity of thermal pressure generated by driven reconnection.
