Abstract
Numerical analysis of two‐dimensional compressible MHD magnetic reconnection has shown that (1) the reconnection process is strongly dependent on boundary conditions but weakly dependent on internal conditions, (2) a slow mode shock layer is formed on the downstream side of the magnetic separatrix, and (3) plasma is heated up to a considerable degree near the X type neutral line and is accelerated up to the Alfvén speed by the slow mode shock.
