Time variations of P, \(\eta J\) and \(U_z\) along the neutral line (x-line) in event-5. Abscissa is taken as the z-axis of simulation box where the z-axis is almost parallel to the neutral line. P-min and \(\eta J\)-min are, respectively, the peak points of the pressure decrease and resistive electric field. Also, two black arrows in (c) are the positive and negative peaks of the z-directional plasma flow \(U_z\). a P, b ηJ, c U z
