In the case of inboard injection, the initial
density blob is located at the inboard midplane, shown in
in Fig.8(a).
The density enhancement 
The density at
, 
is shown in Fig.8(b).
The pellet has already reached the plasma center. In
doing so, it elongates in shape in the radial direction.
A further picture of the density at
, 
is shown in Fig.9.
The average density profile is peaked at the plasma center,
and the pellet material is nearly uniformly spread out on the
flux surfaces.
The flux surface averages of 
are shown in Fig.10(a,b).
The profile of has shifted the other way,
to higher 
all the way to the center.
The three dimensional evolution of the density can be seen
in Fig.11(a,b), which are isoplots
of the density surface at 
of its maximum.
In Fig.11(a)at time t = 12.7, the pellet has
spread once around the torus, similarly to Fig.6(b),
in a
sound wave transit time. In Fig.11(b),
at time t = 65, the pellet material has spread out
around the torus.
The density forms a nearly axisymmetric
structure peaked at the magnetic axis.
To get to this state, the density blob has to cut magnetic field
lines, by the process of driven magnetic reconnection. Accordingly,
the run was performed with a resistivity having minimum value
The resistivity profile was
proportional to the inverse equilibrium toroidal current, and
the averaged Ohmic dissipation was balanced by a driving
constant toroidal electric field. The effect of the pellet on
the magnetic field can be seen in Fig.12, which shows
contours of the magnetic flux 
in the 
plane
at t = 12.7, when the pellet reaches the plasma center. It can
be seen that the contours are pushed together opposite
the pellet, at the location of the original q = 2
magnetic surface. The flux function is not constant
on magnetic field lines in three dimensions, so it only gives
an approximate picture of the magnetic field. However
as seen from Fig.8(b) the density perturbation is roughly
axisymmetric at t = 12.7, so Fig.12 represents
approximately a two dimensional reconnection.
The effect can also be seen in the averaged q profile in
Fig.13, in which the q profile is calculated with respect
to the toroidal average of 
The q profile has reversed
shear, because flux with q ;SPMgt; 2 has replaced the original central
flux having q ;SPMlt; 2. This can be seen in comparision with Fig.3.
