Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed MHD code coupled with time-dependent ionization. We have studied the flare related phenomenon, such as magnetic reconnection and chromospheric evaporation with our developed code. We found that the some observational facts which could not be interpreted by usual MHD simulation can be clarify with our numerical clacuration. The view point of Thermal non-equilibrium plasma is very new in the category of solar physics. Our MHD code coupled with time-dependent ionization can open the new window in solar physics.
