X-pinch 3D simulations with FOI-PERFECT

3D simulations of X-pinch are performed with FOI-PERFECT which is a 3D Rad-MHD program specifically developed for Z-pinch simulations. The physical picture and dynamic processes of X-pinch are given out. The possibility of magnetic reconnection occurring in Z-pinch is discussed. We point out that if the magnetic reconnection can occur in parallel two-wires Z-pinch, then the X-pinch is a more conducive configuration to magnetic reconnection, and the magnetic reconnection occurring in multiple z-axial locations is a possible reason for the multiple X-ray bursts appearing in X-pinch.
