Hypothetical experiments for forcibly suppressing the reconnection. a Three-dimensional field lines at t = 2.8 which are identical format to those in Fig. 4 except the blue surface corresponds to the isosurface of |J|/|B| = 150. b A closeup of the surface, indicated by arrow in a drawn by V z distribution. Reconnection during the eruption is suppressed here setting all velocity components to zero. c The temporal evolution of the height profiles obtained from each calculation. Green, and blue lines are obtained from the hypothetical experiments in which the reconnection is suppressed at t = 2.0 and 2.8, respectively, while the red line is obtained from the original calculation, i.e., the reconnection is not suppressed. d The temporal evolution of the velocity profiles obtained from each calculation. The format is identical to c
