摘要
Numerical simulations of current sheet formation in a two-dimensional ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamic system reveal that sheets evolve self-similarly with cross-sheet profiles close to j (psi) is-proportional-to exp (-2alphapsi). This current profile has previously been derived by several authors as the most probable state in a current-carrying plasma. A critical review of the different theoretical approaches is given.
