Scientific visualization of the time-sequence particle-simulation data on magnetic reconnection by the CAVE virtual reality system "CompleXcope" at National Institute for Fusion Science (tωci= (a) 40.1, (b) 41.8, (c) 43.6. Time is the simulation time). Time evolution of the magnetic field lines (blue lines), the reconnection component of magnetic field (color contour on yz-plane), and the ion temperature (color contour on xy-plane) is shown. Ions coming from the upstream boundary at tωci= 40.1 execute a meandering motion (time-tracing white lines) around the magnetic neutral sheet, and move toward the downstream boundary.
