(color online) Implosion trajectories of mass center of the plasma shell. The blue line represents the result obtained by the particle-in-cell simulation, while the other lines denote the results calculated by the MHD simulation, in which the used Spitzer resistivities are artificially enlarged by using multipliers of 2, 100, and 1000.
